Thinking the Feminist Vegetal Turn in the Shadow of Douglas-firs

et me present to you this interview with Catriona Sandilands, as we begin to expand our current discussion around plant intelligence into the realm of plant humanities and biopolitics. 

Sandilands is an environmental literary critic and ecocultural scholar whose work brings together questions of ecology, gender, and sexuality, and multispecies biopolitics. She coined the term queer ecologies to describe and intervene in the manifold intersections running between sexuality, nature, and power in contemporary ecological conversations.

In this edition of Live Plant Intelligence Commentary, we continue our exploration into plant neurobiology, plant cognition, and the birth of the plant humanities by discussing what does plant personhood have to do with the much broader biopolitical discussion to be had and, more specifically, with topics of feminism.

Comment along as you listen. What do you think about “Thinking the Feminist Vegetal Turn in the Shadow of Douglas-firs: An Interview with Catriona Sandilands”? Do her views change the way you see and talk plant awareness?
