Mentorship Lunch, Tuesday June 6


In keeping with tradition, we hope to have a Mentorship Lunch on the 6th June 13:30-14:30 at Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB’s) canteen where senior members can share their experiences and guide graduate and undergraduate attendees.

If you are interested in participating as a mentor or a student participant, please write Student Representative Sandra Bogdanova (sandrabogdanova@yahoo.com) before May 21.

Once we have gauged the level of interest, we will write back requesting a photo and brief biography so that we can develop a pamphlet for students.

Distinguished Economic Botanist Lecture, Thursday June 8

Plants as sociocultural objects: from economic botany to economic anthropology

The Society for Economic Botany has increasingly defined itself as a context for fostering expertise in ethnobotany and its various applications. However, given that my own work as an ethnobotanist has been much influenced by my training as an anthropologist, there may be merit in re-examining the ‘economic’ in economic botany from the standpoint of anthropology. In this address I suggest that economic anthropology provides a useful framework through which to interrogate the notions of ‘use’ and ‘value’ attributed to plant resources, and to understand how plants move – by exchange and dissemination – through socio-economic systems, how plant knowledge informs decision-making, and how ethnobotanical knowledge is socially embedded. Each of these processes rests on the foundational idea that all plants with which humans interact are necessarily and simultaneously biological and cultural. Such perspectives may even help us rethink the still sometimes unresolved issues as to what ‘theory’ in ethnobotany actually entails.
