Global water issues call on humanities and social science research
Solving the issues involved in providing enough clean water for the world calls on a wide spectrum of research and expertise. “Access to water engages issues of politics, economics, and public health, and in many cases these kinds of problems are more challenging than the technical ones,” says Harriet Ritvo, the Arthur J. Conner Professor of History. As President Hockfield writes in the current issue of MIT Spectrum, the challenge to secure enough clean water for the world is "a challenge perfectly suited to the fluid interdisciplinary strengths of MIT."
