Plotting human-plant futures in Uganda

This lecture by Dr Sandra Calkins (University of Twente) examines forms of human-plant intimacy emerging in a transnational research project that aims to introduce nutritionally improved banana plants to Uganda. Dr Calkins shows how attending to intimacies between Ugandan biologists and their experimental plants offers an alternative way of narrating and accounting for the history of a place, embodied forms of quotidian plant knowledge that are widely distributed in Uganda and allows sketching other trajectories for the future of collective life.
