Navigating Water Insecurity Through Connection
January 30th, 2026 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Available In Person and Online through Zoom
Water insecurity impacts 4 billion people annually with some places having too much, too little, unclean, or inaccessible water. Join ASU Research Fellow Anahi Yerman as she journeys from the mountains of Mexico, cities of Bolivia, and colonias of Arizona to improve our understanding of human water interactions and our relationships with one another. And learn how ‘Arizona Water for All’ is building on global research to improve water security here in Arizona.
Anahi Yerman is a GRFP PhD student at Arizona State University, focusing on how households in water-insecure communities adapt to and mitigate water insecurity through family relationships and fictive kinship. Her work includes interviewing individuals in colonia communities across Arizona and highlighting their stories. Anahi previously received her BA in Anthropology, BS in Philosophy of Science, and MS in Evolution of Culture, Cognition, and Behavioral Anthropology at the University of Utah where she worked with ranchero communities in Baja California Sur, Mexico to examine the impact of hurricanes on work behavior. Her other interests include game theory, behavioral ecology, traditional ecological knowledge, and epistemology.
