Time:Noon-1 p.m.
Description:The Department of Anthropology
2012-2013 Speaker Series presents a talk by UT anthropology professor John Hartigan titled "Life Forms: Cultivating Razas de Maíz and Plant Publics." Based on ethnographic research in Mexico and Spain, this talk engages the challenges presented by nonhuman forms of race.

Starting with a biodiversity genetics research institute and then using a series of botanical gardens as touchstones, Hartigan examines the varieties of parallelisms between plants and people that are developed to make sense of multispecies relations.
