Rachel Havrelock, Associate Professor of English at the University of Illinois, Chicago, is the founder and director of the UIC Freshwater Lab, a humanities-based initiative focused on research, teaching, and public awareness about the Great Lakes. The Freshwater Lab sponsors summits that bring researchers, elected officials, and water professionals together for transformative dialogue; offers courses and training that treat the lakefront and its communities as living labs; and fosters connections between leaders from the Great Lakes and other watersheds through water diplomacy. The Lab’s Freshwater Stories digital storytelling site makes the latest research on Lake Michigan available and actionable for the general public. The Freshwater Lab’s latest project traces the path of Chicago’s wastewater from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to telling the story of this wastewater and its impacts, Havrelock has initiated a policy study concerning water reclamation and nutrient recovery.
