Water, Gender and Equity Speaker Series

Dr. Hermann Kreutzmann
Department of Geography, Free University, Berlin
3 pm Monday, April 21st, Pugh 120

Water is a vital issue in Central and South Asia, being both a factor in
conflict and dispute. In this lecture Dr. Kreutzmann will present a case
study from the Hunza Valley in the Karakoram. He suggests that
investigating water use practices can serve as a key to understanding a
society's conflict and cooperation processes. Furthermore, by
introducing an holistic approach to irrigation and water management, Dr.
Kreutzmann will illustrate the impact of hydraulic resources for
survival strategies in the Karakoram.

Sponsored by the Water Institute, the Department of Religion, the Center
for Women's Studies and Gender Research and the Center for the Study of
Hindu Traditions (CHiTra)
