Environmental Histories and Futures Podcast
This podcast considers environmental problems and solutions in the Arid US West by centering the histories and hopes of everyday people in the face of environmental changes.
Led by Warren Cook. Phase 1 explored the cultural value of water in Snake Valley (UT/NV) amid the proposal (and defeat) of SNWA’s Groundwater Development Project. Phase 2 (underway) explores the history and future of irrigation technology with farmers in Colorado River Basin States.
Special thanks to Abigail Johnson at the Great Basin Water Network for early collaboration in Snake Valley. Funding for Phase 1 provided by Westminster University Honors College. Phase 2 funding currently provided, in part, by the Departments of Communication and Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Confluences in Environmental Communication: A Podcast
Confluences is a conversation shared by the Environmental Communication Division of the National Communication Association that highlights the research and practice of environmental communication.
Hosts Joanne Marras Tate and Warren Cook move the conversation through water metaphors. As many Indigenous feminists have argued, water has the ability to emphasize the radical relationality of our ideas and connections to each other. As you listen, we hope you find scholarly community as we explore research confluences in our field.
