Explores the relationship between water and society employing the lens of gender relations. Through a series of iconic case studies, we will cover topics to analyze and understand the central role that water plays in how communities are organized and how they operate, the symbolism of water, and contemporary social problems concerning water - for example, water shortages, water pollution, the privatization of water resources and distribution, and the impact of large dams. Possible technological and social structural changes that could impact these issues are also considered. Course Codes: BR. Prerequisite: any social science PEQ or permission of instructor.
