CRED Co-Director Hosts Water Workshop at Harvard

On April 25-26, CRED co-director Ben Orlove co-hosted a workshop “Challenges of Water Sustainability in Historical and Ethnographic Perspective” at Harvard University. The workshop brought together anthropologists, development economists, water engineers, historians, urban planners and architects, and archaeologists from the Middle East, South Asia, Japan and the Pacific to present papers in early stages of formulation and to receive in-depth criticism on these from Harvard faculty and students across the university on the topic of water sustainability in the Middle East.
