Gabrielle Pulver (Environmental Studies) – “Water is Life”: Creative Action to Heal Bodies of Water

We are all bodies of water, from humans, to other animals, plants, watersheds and waterways; all require water to survive and thrive.

With a lens of a feminist ethics of care, I explore the role of creative action in the water protection movement at Lake Superior.
