The Social and Cultural Dimension
of the 3r2n project include historical research, cultural analysis,
and public dialogues which explore the histories of how the rivers
have been perceived, used, and managed. Three of the following
reports include work done by Carnegie Mellon students of American
history, Design, Cultural Studies, and Cultural Theory. An overview
of landscape painting over the last 200 years explores the changes
that occur in the depiction of rivers and river life. A series
of urban land studies look at the way land ownership and public
roads have changed in relationship to the rivers. Finally, we
have a program of "river dialogues." The river dialogues
put project experts in relationship to citizens. This provides
a public forum about natural resources and the relevance of research
to the real life issues which concern local citizens.
