Event Details
In oral history interviews, memories of water often incorporate broader conversations about environmental change, community histories, personal identities and political debates. Whether in the complexities of water management, the witnessing of changing climates, the trauma of disaster, or the pleasures of swimming in a river or the sea, the ways in which people talk about water can tell us a great deal about their relationships to place, community, the past and the present. In this panel discussion, three oral historians, Dr Scott McKinnon, Dr Margaret Cook, and Professor Katie Holmes, will reflect on their interviews about water, including its politics, joys and risks on a heating planet.
