The primary objective is to hold a colloquium at the Paris Center in spring or summer of 2026 that would bring together scholars working across fields and disciplines in the sciences and humanities on plants and plant ecologies. The colloquium would tentatively be titled: “Green in the Making: The Ecological Turn in Plant Sciences and Humanities.” This colloquium builds on a research initiative currently funded through the Neubauer Collegium, “Phytological Critique,” comprised of eleven researchers. The second goal is to build on this prior initiative and seek longer term funding for a broader research initiative.
