This episode is about the challenge and joy of doing interdisciplinary research. We 'dive deep' into water research collaborations, drawing on multiple knowledge systems in university and community settings. We are joined by interdisciplinary water researcher Aurora Kagawa-Viviani, who shares her academic journey with us. Aurora emphasises the importance of building community relationships, the role of Indigenous knowledge, and the challenges of balancing personal life with academic responsibilities. As always Cristy and I share our hot takes on recent developments in environmental law around the world, and reflect on our own experiences as legal researchers working in interdiscipliary research projects.
