Institutional Learning Outcomes: Lifelong Learning, Indigenous Knowledges and Ways Students explore plants' and peoples' reciprocal use of one another as biological, cultural and ecological agents of change. Students analyze how different ways of knowing influence our understanding of the human-plant interactions underwriting Indigenous-land relationships, the advent of agriculture, European colonialism, globalization, and sustainability. Students contextualize global patterns of economic botany through local food projects situated in their own ecosystem. Students create new understanding of their own relationship with plants through interdisciplinary projects that integrate creative approaches (illustrated journals, story maps, non-fiction writing) with scientific content. Prerequisite: 3rd year standing Exclusions: BIOL3991-People and Plants
