Since first speaking with her on the phone for a segment about water privatization on the Heartland Labor Forum in 2003, I have been hoping Dr. Vandana Shiva would someday make it to Kansas City.

So I was delighted to read a couple of months ago that Cultivate Kansas City was partnering with UMKC to host a 2-day visit by  Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;color:black;text-decoration:none;
text-underline:none">Dr. Vandana Shiva on Thursday, April 17 and Friday, April 18, 2014.  There is more information on this at Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">www.cultivatekc.org, and on a facebook event page titled

 “Dr. Vandana Shiva "Cultivating Diversity, Freedom and Hope"

Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned physicist, feminist, activist and author.  Her many books include Water Wars, Soil Not Oil and Making Peace with the Earth.

I called her in Delhi, India and recorded a conversation broadcast on Tell Somebody on April 3, 2014.
