Discover how traditional knowledge, legal innovation, and technology intersect to address water justice, protect Indigenous communities, and shape the future of global water governance.  Please note: Due to recording issues in the second half, audio quality varies - however, the content remains compelling and we encourage you to stick with it. We've identified the issue and are taking steps to prevent it in future recordings. Dr. Kelsey Leonard is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo, where her research focuses on Indigenous water justice and its climatic, territorial, and governance underpinnings. Dr. Leonard seeks to establish Indigenous traditions of water conservation as the foundation for international water policymaking.  Dr. Leonard has been instrumental in safeguarding the interests of Indigenous Nations for environmental planning and builds Indigenous science and knowledge into new solutions for water governance and sustainable oceans. In collaboration with a global team of water law scholars Dr. Leonard has published in  Lewis and Clark Law Review  on  Indigenous Water Justice  and the defining international legal principle of self-determination under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Her recent scholarship explores legal personhood for water and you can watch her TEDTalk here:  TEDTalk “Why lakes and rivers should have the same rights as humans” Want to know more?
