Treading the complexities of living with(out) waters: Stories from the Philippine and Peruvian Amazon

What does living with(out) water look like? Mendoza’s lecture departs from stories that narrate ironies and realities of rural communities who are expected to provide food commodities, yet are further marginalized by silencing their ways of living. The presentation will highlight specific cases that range from struggles of farmers in the Philippines who are highly affected by changing climate, while also expected to change their ways of producing; and from struggles of communities who constantly live with(out) waters in the Peruvian Amazon, and whose aspirations and capacities to live by the rivers are dismissed.
