On this episode of The RAGE Podcast, we talk to Dr. Linda Estelí Méndez-Barrientos. Born and raised in Nicaragua, her research prioritizes water governance, power asymmetries, and inequalities within policy. Earlier this year, Dr. Méndez-Barrientos spoke at the Climate Justice Roundtable dialogue, put together by IRISE, to advance conversations about climate justice in academia. In our conversation, we discuss the challenges facing her work, the paradoxes around clean water access, and the importance of inclusionary policy that helps center climate justice issues impacting historically excluded communities.
