WHAT QUESTIONS WILL GUIDE SOSS 2019?
-
What drew you to work with seeds? What keeps you working with seeds?
-
How do science and spirit interact in your work with seeds? Do you find tension or complementation between intuition and scientific enquiry?
-
How have your identities -- race / ethnicity / gender / class / sexual orientation / ability/ etc -- shaped your work with seed? How have your identities shaped the questions you ask and the resources you have to answer them?
-
What questions – about productivity, aesthetics, power, ecology, or something else – do you want to answer in future seed projects? What insights might scientific paradigms, instruments, or technologies provide? Which questions can’t science answer?
-
Does thinking about the stories of seed varieties, or of the seed professionals who create them, change our conversation about plant breeding techniques and technologies? About intellectual property? About privilege?
