Description

More and more, the field of history of science is engaging in questions of epistemic justice with regard to different ways of knowing (for instance, indigenous and experiential ways of knowing in addition to scientific ways of knowing). Museums are actively pursuing methods of enabling a diversity of citizens meaningful access to collections – collections that may have been created in situations of asymmetrical power. This current research project stands at the crossroads between these two developments. What does this intersection mean for a natural history museum, and how can plants open a path to productive intercultural discussions of both past and future?
