Interdisciplinary Conversations on Water series | Upcoming Sessions
The Interdisciplinary Conversations on Water series, hosted by WiSER and Wits Water, starts up again next week, after the University break and the series of long weekends.
We’d like to keep building the impetus behind the conversations, as we continue with our pairing of a scientist with a social scientist/humanities scholar who make brief opening presentations to be followed by extensive roundtable discussion.
Our next three upcoming sessions, which run from 1-2pm, co-convened by Craig Sheridanand Sarah Nuttall, are:
Thursday May 8
Conversation 3: Rivers in Joburg and the Jukskei
Andrew Thatcher – lessons in s’Swetla – water and people on the Jukskei (PSYCHOLOGY)
Mike Muller - The Jukskei's life as a drain and a river (GOVERNANCE)
Thursday May 29
Conversation 4: Water infrastructures
Precious Biyela – Getting water into our taps (CIVIL ENG)
Mucha Musemwa – Water Scarcity in Harare (SOCIAL SCIENCE)

Lunch will be served at WiSER for all participants.
