SUMMARY:Debbora Battaglia: "Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension"
DESCRIPTION:“Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension” \nOut of the urban ruins and food deprivation of World War II came the prototype for growing plants aeroponically. Aeroponics has since taken surprising turns as a technology for anthropocenic conditions – in Global South laboratories; “vertical gardens”; art installations; plant biology experiments for colonizing the cosmos. In its wake\, questions open concerning the ethics of plant-people relations in future-making projects. \nDebbora Battaglia is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public.
