MAUDE BARLOW
Monday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Co-presented with the CANADIAN STUDIES CENTER, JACKSON SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON and FOOD AND WATER WATCH. From Ottawa, we are honored to internationally-renowned environmental activist Maude Barlow. A recipient of Sweden's Right Livelihood Award, a participant in the remarkable Benaroya Hall anti-globalization teach-in that preceded the Seattle WTO meetings in November 1999, Maude Barlow is especially known for her work in the water justice movement. She is the author of sixteen books, of which Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water (The New Press) is the newest—and most timely. "Clean water is the bottom line of all bottom lines—and Maude Barlow shows, with compelling reporting, that we're about to go H2O broke. But she's also a leader of an emerging movement for water justice, one that is starting to score victories in the desperate fight to keep a thirsty planet slaked." - Bill McKibben.
