PLAC 5822
Plant Cultures and Ecologies
Course Description
Plants lie at the intersection of climate change, food security, ecological risk, geopolitical conflict, and cultural self-determination. Yet, they remain largely overlooked and marginalized as a practical body of knowledge to the alarming ignorance of the botanical world. Through selected topics, this course will investigate the role and agency of plants in transforming the built environment, urbanization, and climate adaptation, among others.
