<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">In this talk, “Kat” Cruz Gutierrez (History, University of California, Santa Cruz) will share her latest research projects on colonial botany in the Philippines, Filipino farm labor
in California’s Pajaro Valley, and the Cold War plant sciences. Working with and beyond plants of subsistence and commerce, Gutierrez explores different approaches to writing histories of science and of the Philippines. Each approach highlights human-vegetal
encounters and their significance to major periods in Philippine and Philippine-diasporic history. Key to these are the insights of current plant researchers, whose perspectives are essential to meaningful humanistic writing on plants. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
