Megan Pulliam

Senior, International Relations major, Megan Pulliam has recently received Strohl Grant funding to perform a cross-national economic analysis of water resource management initiatives in Allentown, Pennsylvania and Cochabamba, Bolivia. The purpose of her project is to determine whether water privatization is beneficial or detrimental to society by performing an in-depth research analysis of two very different communities that are both dealing with the issue of water privatization. Her research will contribute to a larger Global Citizenship capstone project, which she is undertaking with three other Lehigh students. Together, they will perform a cross-disciplinary analysis of different institutions’ perspectives and attitudes towards water privatization.
