Dear All,

My colleague Jenia Mukherjee at IIT Kharagpur (India) is hosting a free online course on Water, Society, and Sustainability (in India). It may be of particular interest to students planning research on water related issues in South Asia. Please share with your networks.

Key highlights

- it discusses emerging frameworks on water research including socio-hydrology, hydrosocial, political ecology and critical physical geography

- it focuses on South Asia and explores how and why ongoing water research can be mobilized within the South Asian context

- it covers wide range of case studies from rural, urban and peri-urban contexts

- it establishes why radicalizing water research is imperative during the contemporary times
