Description: Join us for a discussion on how sex and gender are discussed in plant biology and how the terminology and metaphors we use can lead to the exclusion of queer and trans people from biology. We will use the following paper to explore the intersections of feminist and queer theory with the study of sexual reproduction in plants: https://academic.oup.com/icb/article/63/4/946/7110401.
Everyone is welcome! We encourage you to join the discussion, even if you are not able to read the paper or have limited background in the topics we will be discussing. If you have any questions, please reach out to Christine Goedhart at christine.goedhart@botany.ubc.ca.
