Zoe Sofoulis - Gender and Crypto-Gender in Urban Water Management [eIgOHuClCFB]
Zoe Sofoulis introduces the concept of a link between the domestic labour of women and water infrastructure (1.10). She explains the way that water impacts a woman’s life by saying that a woman and her children are afforded much better health by modern water infrastructure than by collecting water from a local untreated source (2.20) and that being a house wife means something different when laundry is a two day communal activity as opposed to pressing some buttons on a machine (2.50). She argues that water is defeminised once it is industrialised (4.40). Sofoulis introduces the idea that a “refeminisation of hydro politics” might be possible (7.00) and asks what a socially sustainable water system would look like (10.00). She points out enquiry into urban water management privileges white men (12.30) and offers an example of how many more women than men are interested in water (15.00) but on the technical level the industry is dominated by men (15.30). #bitcoin 1 million dollar #celestia crypto
