Just Waters: Thinking with Hydro-Social Relations for a More Just and Sustainable World is an interdisciplinary research project that is housed at the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba. This three-year project, funded by the UM IGNITE Program, will nurture new and ongoing relationships to mobilize and connect individuals locally and internationally to better address the ongoing issues surrounding water justice.

Just Waters is led by Dr. Adele Perry, Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Arts & Director of the CHRR at the University of Manitoba. Just Waters will apply an interdisciplinary lens to water (in)justice and work to move research to the next steps. By establishing an interdisciplinary approach and centering the hydro-social, the project will nurture new and ongoing relationships to mobilize and connect individuals locally and internationally to better address the ongoing issues surrounding water justice.
