Introduction
My research interests revolve around issues of ownership and property, commodification, and distributive justice concerning natural resources. Should naturally occurring necessities for life, like water, be considered common property and commonly owned? Is it impermissible to commodify water? What is the most efficient, yet just, form of ownership of natural necessities? Such questions are the aim of my research.

Humanity will face water scarcity as this century progresses. Water use grew twice as fast as the global human population last century, and an increasing number of regions around the world are facing, or will face, freshwater scarcity. Four billion people face water scarcity at least one month out of the year. Scarcity makes water valuable for priv...
Water is the fulcrum on which life pivots––it is nonpareil in its importance for life on Earth. Climate change and the ever-expanding sphere of water commodification raise important ethical and sociopolitical questions and ramifications that are not reducible to only distributional concerns. Philosophical, normative work on climate change is prolif...
Global migration, influenced by environmental and climate crises, has seen a steep rise in the past three decades. Socio-economic and climatic vulnerability and socio-political volatilities in the developing regions and emerging economies of/in the Global South closely connect with the human migration flows worldwide.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Global migration has been increasing since the 1990s. People are forced to leave their homes in search of safety, a better livelihood, or for more economic opportunities. Environmental drivers of migration, such as land degradation, water pollution, or changing climate, are acting as stronger phenomena with time. As millions of p...
To solve the world’s most complex problems, research is increasingly moving toward more transdisciplinary endeavors. While a lot of important work has explored the characteristics, challenges, opportunities, and operationalization of transdisciplinary research, much less is known about the circumstances that either facilitate or hinder the research...
This guidebook aims to provide insights for working
collaboratively with farmers in research. We identified

the world, with a focus on the North American context.
Further, we shared our experiences and lessons

In How Does The Global Order Harm The Poor? Matthias Risse (2005)
writes that “resources are collective property of humanity” (351) under
“egalitarian ownership” (359). I intend to build on Risse’s argument and show in
this paper that water must not be commodified. Rather, water must be open to
all regardless of one’s ability to pay for it; it is a...
This review looks at the issue of water commodification, and how such an issue is approached by philosophy and geography. I bring up recent geographical literature that examines water commodification, and then I proceed to explain water commodification through the scope of philosophy. I argue that David Schlosberg, Avery Kolers, and Iris Marion You...
