The book Launch if Postponed since Andrea won’t be able to travel here from the US, information about rescheduling to another date will follow soon.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ETHOS Lab and Antropologforeningen invite its members to the book launch seminar with Dr. Andrea Ballestero, Rice University (USA) on her recent monograph \u201cA Future History of Water\u201c.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Working with NGOS, politicians, state representatives and activists in Costa Rica and Brazil, Ballestero explores what goes into making water access into a human right. We will explore the techno-legal devices that Ballestero describes in making water futures, and the bifurcations between water as a right, and as a global commodity.<\/p>\n

Organized in conjunction with World Water Day<\/a>, the morning will include discussant commentary, questions to Andrea, and reflections on ways of knowing water.<\/p>\n

 Copies of Andrea’s book, published by Duke University Press and made available Open Access through the Fondren Library are available here<\/a>. You do not have to have read the book to attend.<\/p>\n

“Through the brilliant selection of the devices to exhibit her ideas, the author invites readers to think deeply beyond courts or treaties establishing a human right to water and shows how many other factors also contribute to and shape this.”<\/p>\n

\u2014 Gayathri D Naik, LSE Review of Books<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“[Ballestero’s] insightful analysis convinces the reader that such apparently mundane technical devices are indeed wonderful in their capacities to compose the water worlds of the future.”<\/p>\n

\u2014 Veronica Strang, PoLAR<\/i><\/p>\n
