Muskrat Falls Symposium
September 28-29, 2018
Memorial University
The faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Memorial University is holding a two-day symposium on the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric development in Labrador. The symposium will bring together scholarship, ideas and art to address the history and development of the project, and the criticism of its controversial aspects including the threat of methylmercury poisoning, downstream flooding, public finance and debt, and its impact on indigenous sovereignty, journalism, public oversight and democracy.
THE MUSKRAT FALLS
QUESTIONS
Muskrat Falls Project is more than an engineering or financial project. It raises a number of ethical, sociological and political questions about how we want to reorganize our resources and social life to best deal with the coming economic and environmental changes we will face through the next century. Read about some of the questions here.
