HPS Cultivation Greenhouse: Radical Botanical Futures

The Greenhouse is a meeting place for students and researchers interested in the history and sociology of plants, food, agriculture and environment to explore how science and technology shape what we grow and eat. The regular programme of papers and discussions is curated in conjunction with the project From Collection to Cultivation, which is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

On Monday, June 5, we will discuss:

• Chapter 7 (“Becoming Plant Nonetheless”) from Natania Meeker and Antónia Szabari, Radical Botany: Plants and Speculative Fiction (Fordham, 2019)

The reading group is open to all. We meet fortnightly during Cambridge term time in the HPS Board Room (Free School Lane, Cambridge) and on Zoom to discuss papers or presentations. Write to hps-cultivation@lists.cam.ac.uk to subscribe to regular updates on readings and to get access to the Zoom link.
