In opening up the worlds of botany and feminism through interdisciplinary approaches, we see new multispecies possibilities. Banu Subramaniam
Reading Banu Subramaniam’s book Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism, we want to explore the labyrinthine histories of colonialism and how it transformed plant worlds into biological knowledge.

Between Us and Nature is an ongoing reading club that chooses texts related to natural sciences, art, anthropology, postcolonialism and the (post)anthropocene from a eco-feminist perspective. Attendees read passages together out loud, and share experiences and thoughts about the nature they live in. Looking beyond disciplines, the group creates a space to learn from and with bacteria, algae, fungi, soil and multinaturalist narratives.
