A panel with Alice Wolff, Diego Molina and Hilal Alkan, chaired by Molly Rose Bond. What stories do cultivation and land use tell us about the places where we live? From biodiversity loss in the medieval period to contemporary commodification of the global trade in trees, the routes and roots of plant species offer new ways of thinking about nationhood. The panel will also examine innovations in archaeobotany, multispecies ethnography and plant humanities, to uncover the hidden histories of everyday flora around the world.

The event will also be streamed online via Teams Webinar. To attend virtually, please click here.
