Rivers influence our lives and particularly, so does the Connecticut. Society also influences the river. In this course we can begin to see the web of connections that suggests "Everything is connected to Everything." Discussion will be based on material to be found in a collection developed for this class.
Each of you will be asked to first select a river (stream) and prepare a brief (6-7 minute) presentation. Later you will be asked to explore and discuss the water issues on a river in areas such as Europe, the Middle East, Afghanistan, China and other places where water issues underlie serious conflicts.
Class is limited to 20 members.
PETER RICHARDSON has worked as a high school science teacher and as Director of Admissions at MIT. His volunteer activities have ranged from Kimball Union Academy Trustee to trail building in the Green Mountains. He is a founding member of the Connecticut River Joint Commissions.
