Aims & Scope

Open Rivers: Rethinking Water, Place & Community is an open-access digital journal of public scholarship that provides a forum for critical conversations about the interconnections between ecological and social systems. Water is the lens through which we investigate the challenges of climate change, struggles for environmental justice, and the ways we know and relate to the natural world. Open Rivers brings together voices and perspectives of academics, community members, artists, advocates, students, practitioners and professionals who share concern for our water futures. Featuring the work of engaged thinkers from multiple areas of expertise and experience, Open Rivers creates a space for stories that catalyze creative, multidisciplinary solutions to the profound challenges facing our water systems and our environment more broadly. We augment this approach by using digital media in innovative ways to facilitate new forms of knowledge, communication, and practice.
