Erum Khalid Sattar (Water Rights and Resources: Issues in Law & Development)
Visiting Professor

Dr Erum Khalid Sattar is a Lecturer in the core faculty for the Sustainable Water Management program at Tufts University and an adjunct professor at Pace University Elizabeth Haub School of Law. She received her Doctorate in Juridical Sciences (S.J.D.) from Harvard Law School in 2017, where her dissertation committee consisted of Professors Mark Tushnet, James Salzman (of UCLA and UC Santa Barbara) and Amartya Sen. The late Professor John Briscoe was also a member of her dissertation committee. Her doctoral research focused on issues of water federalism and trans-boundary water sharing in the Indus River Basin. Before Harvard, she qualified to become a Barrister-at-Law from The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, London. She is the past Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Asia Quarterly, the journal of the Harvard Asia Center, and co-founded the Water Law Study Group at Harvard Law School.

Broadly, Erum studies the institutional architecture of national and international development, particularly as it relates to the development of water resources. Her research has explored British colonial-era water law and policy and its continuing effects in the Indus River Basin. Her current research is a comparison of the instrumental transformation of water law doctrine in 18th and 19th century America, the legal and institutional regimes created by the medieval-era Moors in Spain and their continuing effects in the American Southwest, and the colonial-era regime of water control created by the British in India. She is exploring these legal and institutional histories for their contemporary policy relevance at a time of growing weather and water stress with unprecedented impacts on ecosystems and the sustainable thriving of human societies.
