My research complicates the taken-for-grantedness of scientific knowledge production to argue for a feminist re-envisioning of science that is committed to justice. My current book project, The Last Seed: Botanic Futures and Colonial Legacies, expands and deepens my PhD dissertation on the history and practices of seed banking. I demonstrate how concepts like ‘biodiversity’ and ‘food security’ are evoked in a neoliberal era to enable the continuation of extractive colonial practices like plant collecting.
