Social Work across the 49th Parallel: Big Salmon River and Columbia River Treaty modernization Fairhaven Auditorium Wednesday 11:30-12:50
Engaging with the Columbia River, both in Canada and the USA, and those whose lives are intertwined with the river, we explore our understanding of challenges to environmental and social justice inherent in the stewardship of these lifegiving waters and the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the USA that is currently being modernized. We will talk about two previous and one future field courses that focus on environmental and social justice challenges of the Columbia River Treaty.
