What are plants? What can they do? And how can we bring a feminist approach to our relationships to them?

Listen as Catriona Sandilands explores our relationships with botanical others, including shifting understandings of what plants are and what they can do. In this time of accelerating environmental and social change, Sandilands asks: what might we learn, what new approaches and possibilities might become possible, through a feminist botany?
