How do we seed radicle futures? 
This question guides us as we consider the intricate worlds of seeds — their lifeways and relationships to cultural identity and healing ancestral foodways, as well as their stories of resilience, sovereignty, and adaptation during this time of ecological unraveling.
 
Our collective work emerges from both grief and reverence—a weaving of personal and shared visions that honors seeds as more than life’s beginning. We recognize them as sacred teachers and keepers of memory and possibility, carrying within them blueprints for futures rooted in reciprocity, diversity, and care.

ARTS 429/529; BIOL 402/502, CRP 470/570, LA 511, SUST 402, FA 395, and UHON 401: Biodiversity, Creative Practice, and Justice

This interdisciplinary seminar and studio art course will focus on biodiversity crisis and conservation. The course materials—drawn from visual arts and culture, environmental humanities, and science-based conservation—will span from local (with a particular focus on New Mexico) to the global. You will engage in readings and conversations, research, writing, and creative production. Through both experimental and pragmatic approaches, this course will include local site visits and field work, and individual and collaborative projects, focusing on such concepts as multispecies kinship, coexistence, caretaking, and justice. Students from all fields of study are encouraged to participate.
