Andrea Muehlebach is a Professor of Maritime Anthropology and Cultures of Water at the University of Bremen. She is the author of “A Vital Frontier: Water Insurgencies in Europe” and is currently involved in a book-length project on the rights of nature movement and its relation to what many proponents call “Earth Law.” Here, she is following recent rulings in Spain, Peru, Canada, and elsewhere on the rights of waves, rivers, and other aquatic beings. Her main question revolves around the promises, potential, pitfalls and limits of liberal law as it encounters the elementality of nature.
