Further development of a web publication and edited volume of scholarship and criticism on the cultural and historical impacts of technology on water stewardship.

The project is best described as a multidisciplinary digital humanities and public engagement research initiative with aspirations to produce new knowledge, convene experts, engage the public, and curate resources focused on the nexus of water, technology, and environmental justice. The project emerges from our ongoing, hitherto unfunded work that began with Water Justice and Technology: The Covid-19 Crisis, Computational Resource Control, and Water Relief Policy, a collaborative report and policy critique featuring twelve contributors from various humanistic disciplines and the Center for Interdisciplinary Environmental Justice (CIEJ). From this work we established an early development digital humanities platform that, with the support of NEH, we plan to grow into an internationally recognized platform and publication source on the intersections of technology and water.
