DP250103776 Where waters meet: Empirical philosophy amidst more-than-human collectives

This project aims to position water-places, with their attendant people and non-humans, as central actors in Australian collective life with uncertain futures. We work with a multidisciplinary approach to study of how they are managed, cared for, lived-with, known and changed. The project will generate new knowledge by mapping differences in different contexts (cultural, historical, political) and scales (river-basin, river, creek). Expected outcomes include generative, collectively-enacted and institutionally stabilised understandings of Australian water flows benefitting networks of those who care for rivers including traditional owners, policy makers, scientists, environmentalists and recreational users.
