Vital Waters: Reimagining Planetary Health through Critical Social Sciences

You are warmly invited to participate in this interdisciplinary symposium exploring how planetary-scale transformations of water — through climatic changes, infrastructural expansion, extraction, contamination, and purification — are reshaping health futures.

This symposium examines water-health connections through infrastructure, governance, and lived experiences, drawing on empirical social science research in an unequal world.

Through cross-disciplinary dialogue, it seeks to reimagine how we conceptualise and respond to water-related health challenges on a rapidly changing planet.

The Vital Waters Symposium is co-organised by the Centre for Health & Sustainability, the Dept of Cultural Anthropology & Ethnology, and UUniCORN with the support from SHIP, Sustainable Health in Partnership.

Register by 13 April! Read more about the event, including programme, and registration link here.
