PIPS#4: Making Change: Working with Communities on Water Justice.

  • MLS-Student Enrichment Centre (map)

On Wednesday 8 May at 6:00 pm in the Student Enrichment Centre (Law Building) we will be joined by Dr Erin O'Donnell, a water law and policy expert and senior lecturer at Melbourne Law School. PILN is proud to present PIPS#4: Making Change: Working with Communities on Water Justice.

At this workshop, Dr O'Donnell will be sharing with us the work she has done with governments and in academic institutions. We will be diving into the possibilities of attributing legal personhood to rivers, and gain an understanding of how the settler law and state might better recognising First Nations water rights. As a legal professional, what does it look like to work meaningfully alongside communities? Our workshop component considers the practical skills needed to engage with relevant stakeholders, develop proposals and advocate for their implementation.
As always, free bevvies and food are provided!
