National AWIS – Lessons from Plants: Insights for Thriving
|Dr. Beronda Montgomery will discuss how plant behavior and adaptation in dynamic environments, as well as the relationships that humans have with plants, can offer valuable and disruptive insights for human thriving.
Plants experience a kind of sensation that does not require eyes or ears. They distinguish kin, friend, and foe and can respond to ecological competition despite lacking the capacity of fight-or-flight. Plants are capable of transformative behaviors that maximize their chances of survival in a dynamic and sometimes unfriendly environment. Plants take resourceful action in an ever-evolving environment, and our reflection on plant responses offers impactful instructions for community-based care.
