Rivers On The Move – Waterways in Human Life from the Ice Age to the Anthropocene
BATHSHEBA DEMUTH, MARK A. HEALEY, GIACOMO PARRINELLO, AND LAURENCE C. SMITH, EDITORS
Ever-moving rivers create landscapes and sustain life, yet their variability can also bring disaster to human communities that do not adapt to that movement. Furthermore, in an era of climate instability, river movements are increasingly harder to deny, suppress, or harness. Rivers on the Move collects essays across disciplines to explore the tension between rivers’ movements and economic, social, and political desires for ecological stability. Contributors, hailing from a wide range of humanities and scientific fields alike, examine river movements as both physical and cultural phenomena that shape environments across the world and across all ages. Together, their essays analyze how rivers move, what counts as movement, how human societies try to control those movements, and how we can imagine new ways of coexisting with rivers.

Mississippi River Open School for Kinship and Social Exchange: Experimental Modes of Teaching and Learning for the Planetary Emergency
Mississippi River Open School for Kinship and Social Exchange is an artist-designed book that draws from a growing archive of writing, activism, art, film, interviews, research, exhibitions, and more from over eight years of work on and along the Mississippi River from its headwaters to the gulf. The open school is a continually radical, community-engaged educational project that turns the university inside out to make it a more fluid public pedagogy. The book foregrounds the Open School’s methodology of collaboratively imagining and practicing experimental modes of learning and teaching for the planetary emergency.
Contributors to this collection explore the Mississippi River as an interconnected ecological and cultural corridor to examine our collective past, present, and future.
