Please come and join us at the exciting 2024 “Garden Futurity” Roundtable Colloquium, a virtual gathering aiming to foster interdisciplinary dialogues on the transformative role of the garden and gardening in the current conjuncture! The event will feature three insightful panels that probe gardens as spaces for multispecies interactions, the poetics and politics of urban gardens, and gardening as a mode of restoration. With contributions from a stellar lineup of speakers from diverse fields such as multispecies and environmental anthropology, history, literary studies, architecture, and art, ecology and climate change studies, attendees will gain new perspectives on how the garden can inspire resilience and resistance, community engagement, and sustainable practices in the face of ecological challenges.
