The Freshwater Lab is an initiative to communicate Great Lakes water issues to the general public, create tools to visualize the current state and future scenarios of water sources, engage unaffiliated groups in water planning, and train a new generation of Great Lakes leaders. With a
focus on the Great Lakes basin, the Freshwater Lab reaches outward to build relationships with water stewards from other parts of the world.

She is currently working on a book about the Great Lakes and their communities and what needs to happen for the Rust Belt to become the sustaining Water Belt.

Bio
Rachel Havrelock is Professor of English at the University of Illinois at Chicago where she also directs The Freshwater Lab, an environmental humanities initiative focused on the North American Great Lakes and environmental justice.
The Freshwater Lab is an initiative to communicate Great Lakes water issues to the general public, create tools to visualize the current state and future scenarios of water sources, engage unaffiliated groups in water planning- and train a new generation of Great Lakes leaders. With a focus on the Great Lakes basin, the Freshwater Lab reaches outward to build relationships with water stewards from other parts of the world.
The Freshwater Lab has produced two digital storytelling platforms:
Freshwater Stories concerns Lake Michigan as it opens eyes to the pressing water issues of the twenty-first century and offers a tool in which anyone can begin to learn about their water.
The Backward River chronicles how the Chicago River came to flow backward and facilitate the offshoring of waste and transport of petroleum products.
Both digital storytelling sites reach toward new imaginaries and relationships between people and their local watersheds.
Through the Freshwater Lab, Rachel Havrelock offers interdisciplinary courses t
