Meera Karunananthan

Meera Karunananthan is an Assistant Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton University, located on unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory in Ottawa, Canada. Her research and teaching sit at the intersection of feminist political ecology, critical geography, and anti-colonial scholarship, with a focus on water justice and the racialized political economy of infrastructure. She is currently investigating how hegemonic responses to hydro-social crises reproduce uneven development and deepen social reproductive burdens in the Global South. Through her involvement with the Blue Planet Project and People’s Water Forum, Meera is actively engaged in collaborative, community-based and movement-aligned water justice scholarship. She also sits on the board of Peace Brigades International Canada, a global movement of land, water, and human rights defenders.
