“Citizens of the Cosmos” by Jolie Kaytes
October 3, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Landscape Architecture professor Jolie Kaytes will talk about the complicated relationship between native and invasive vegetation, and how those relationships play into larger issues of naturalization, border crossing, and climate resilience. While native and invasive species are often categorized as “good” or “bad,” Kaytes will explore the ways in which seeing plants as kin (as Robin Wall Kimmerer advocates in Braiding Sweetgrass) leads to a more complicated storyline that encompasses endurance, resilience, and abundance. Hosted by the WSU Pullman Common Reading Program.
