Description

This course offers an introduction in the field of ethnobotany, the study that looks at the relationship between people, plants and culture. Ethnobotany researches such fascinating topics as, how do human cultures relate to plants for food, medicine, clothes, buildings and meaning making? You could describe it as anthropology with plants – it has a lot of overlap with both anthropology and botany or biology. The course is loosely based on the MSc Ethnobotany at the University of Kent, England.
