| During the academic year 2007-8, a symposium and lecture series was organized that addresses the critical problem of Gender, Water and Equity in India. This program brought eminent scholars to the University of Florida to participate in symposia and discussions on the general topic of water and society and, more specifically, how these issues emerge on the Indian sub-continent. This project aimed to 1) educate scholars in the about the role of gender, religion and social hierarchy in water disputes, and 2) create innovative interdisciplinary collaborations and build on existing partnerships within the International Working Water Group. This speaker series is leading (or has led) to additional funding initiatives regarding water and equity. The Interdisciplinary Water Working Group has met with all the speakers, and these interactions have helped our group rethink and refocus our objectives. |
