ESTUARY's last event for the year will be a reading group focused on the exciting topic of Blue Health, to be chaired by one of our lovely co-organisers Heather Davis! The field of Blue Health explores the relationship between human health and water (often termed “blue spaces” in relation to “green space”). It is interested in the politics of place and space, social inclusivity, ecological health, and a vision of health beyond disease/health dualisms.
To prepare for the reading group, please have a look at:
