Dr. Kimmerer, a professor of Environmental Science and Forestry at SUNY College in Syracuse, NY, will be giving her talk on “The Personhood of Plants: Land, Language and the Rights of Nature” at 7:00 p.m. on May 15th in the McIntire Room at the Buchanan Alumni House.
This presentation will explore on our relationship to plants and how it is shaped by culture, worldview and experience. Together, we will explore scientific and indigenous conceptions of the nature of plants, from natural resources and respected teachers to consider how our perceptions of living beings are reflected in language and law.
