A lecture by
Steven C. Caton
Prince Khalid Bin Abdullah Bin Abdulrahman Al Saud Professor of Contemporary Arab Studies, Department of Anthropology, Harvard University
This talk will examine the politics of water sustainability in three different eco-systems—oasis, coast, and highlands—of the Arabian Peninsula and how these are connected to very different kinds of state regimes and development histories. Some lessons for development and sustainable water use will be drawn.
Doors open at 4:45 pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
Professor Caton’s lecture is offered as part of the year-long Water Lecture Series at the Radcliffe Institute. More information about this series, including future presentations and videos of past talks, is available on the Radcliffe Institute website.
