PLANTS, PEOPLE AND THE PLANET: INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE BOTANIC GARDEN (IN-PERSON COURSE)
Keith Skene
Tuesday 8 September 10.00 am – 12.00pm, 4 weeks
Fees: £40/£32 Code: 10 101
Over the four weeks, we will delve into the amazing collection of plants in the University of Dundee Botanic Garden, exploring the medicinal, supernatural, cultural and historical importance of some of the stars of the Garden, from the Elephant Foot Yam of Southern Africa, to the Kapok Tree of Jamaica and Ghana, and from the Scots pines of Caledonia to the plants of the Antipodes. We will enter into the Indigenous thinking of communities from around the world, and the centrality of plants to these people, both in their struggle for survival and their pursuit of social justice against the colonial oppression of both nature and humanity. All teaching will be field-based.
