315) Karen Piper: Rethinking colonial water architecture in the face of ‘scarcity’

How has modern water architecture changed our relationship with water? What are some success stories of resilience from communities pushing back against those attempting to privatize and monopolize control over water?

In this episode, we speak with Karen Piper, the author of Cartographic Fictions, Left in the Dust, The Price of Thirst, and a memoir called A Girl's Guide to Missiles. Her interests are water architecture, climate change, weapons development history, creative nonfiction, and world literature. She currently teaches in the English department at the University of Missouri.

The musical offering in this episode is Where We Belong by Inanna.
