EA 037 PZ -Plant Minded

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Plant Minded is a lecture, discussion, and field-based course that addresses the disconnect humans have with the botanical world and the critical interconnections of plants with life on earth. Students analyze a form of cognitive bias known as â€œPlant Blindnessâ€ or the human tendency to overlook or marginalize plants, which may affect policy making and environmental design decisions, and contribute to the systematic loss of biodiversity and cultural connections with plants. Students develop floristic relationships through field-based creative exercises in and around the Claremont Colleges. At the end of the course students propose active solutions for appreciating the value of the botanical world.
