CRES 190WQueer & Anti-Colonial Gardening
A collective study of dispersed forms of resistance to colonial models of agriculture, including the logics of the plantation economy. Students engage disparate traditions of gardening—from the imperially ambitious collections of Kew to the creole gardens of enslaved people in the Caribbean. Course investigates how non-normative practices of gardening challenge the classificatory order of sexual, racial, and species difference that colonial horticulture maintains as a hard norm. Also considers how gardens have acted as both an expression and site of queer and trans desire.
