    Plants in Africa and the Global South: Multi-Species Materialities, Ecologies, and Aesthetics (MMEA)

    An online seminar series, co-convened by Abidemi Babatunde Babalola (The British Museum, UK) and Vera-Simone Schulz (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut)
    Hosted by the Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSM)

    This online seminar series and working group, hosted by the Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM), brings together researchers, practitioners and artists interested in plants in Africa and the Global South to discuss methodological questions concerning plant research in the humanities and social sciences on and beyond the African continent. Mmea is the Kiswahili word for "plant." What methods are promising for studying plant epistemologies in Africa? What methods are suitable for working across disciplines, such as the natural sciences and the humanities and social sciences, but also with disciplines outside of the academy, including Indigenous knowledge systems? What are the methodological specificities of doing plant research in the Global South? Which methods are useful for research practices that are attentive to the practices of plant practitioners and research that is committed to social justice and climate justice? What methodological innovations come out of plant research concerning interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, as well as approaches that incorporate artistic research? What specific forms for documenting, presenting and communicating plant research evolve in these activities? The seminar series is concerned with plants in diverse contexts and disciplines, including but not limited to Indigenous knowledge systems, botany and plant sciences, food, medicine, horticulture, and plant collecting institutions like herbaria and botanical gardens. This is an open program and further talks will be added to the series.
