563 - Thinking with Plants and Animals through Latin American Texts
Saturday, 10 January 2026
 5:15 PM - 6:30 PM
MTCC - 602B
Description
Panelists explore the intersection of critical plant studies and critical animal studies in Latin American cultural production, reconsidering the ethics, agency, and representation of nonhuman life by examining literature, film, and visual arts from the region. Discussion focuses on how plants and animals shape multispecies narratives, challenging human-centered frameworks in the humanities.
