Fabulous and fascinating encounter with the St Andrews Botanic garden facilitated by Roxani Krystalli. Thinking about knowledge and pleasure and the senses…and smelling the flowers!

Next we had Kat Hunfeld with queer ecosocialist notes on rewilding, using Andreas Malm's argument for keeping binaries within our critique, rather than arguing for unlimited entanglement, so that we can be cognisant of human intentionality and its effects on the environment.

Our panel and knowing and unknowability has just finished. First we had Grace Garland analysing the rhetoric of climate science, identifying 'chronic equivocation' in science's attempts to communicate data in an apolitical way. Garland advocates for a Plumwoodian turn, instead.

'Queer girls in dangerous tropical gardens' looked at the Women's Christian College in Chennai, looking to the colonial attempt to 'enclose' girlhood that the gardens represented and ultimately failed to achieve.

'Are mushrooms queer?', bookended by Barbie, highlighted the cis/purity narratives that the 'mycological turn' can bring with it, 'as if the turn to the natural world authorises a kind of literalism with regard to so-called sex'.

‘Queering Elements, Ecologies, Environments’ will further foster encounters between queer and trans theory and the more-than-human turn. Join us for a guided walk of the St Andrews Botanic Gardens, a session hosted by the Un/nature reading group, and much else besides!
