Episode 202 (4 Aug 2022): Jonatan Godinez Madrigal ([email protected]) was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. He first graduated from International Relations (2007) in the Jesuit University of Guadalajara, where he began working in the political ecology group of the Jesuit University where he conducted inter-disciplinary research on water conflicts and crises, but especially on the possibility of transforming water systems. With that spirit, he started his PhD at IHE Delft, focusing on a transdisciplinary action research project to analyse and transform the most intractable water conflict in Mexico, the Zapotillo conflict. He recently obtained his PhD last April and contributed to resolve and transform the Zapotillo conflict.

Slogan: "Water for everybody, water forever." ("Agua por todos agua para siempre")
