Call for Papers for the Inaugural Issue of Plant Perspectives
The Editorial Board of Plant Perspectives is pleased to invite article submissions for its inaugural issue to be published in early 2024. The journal is a new peer-reviewed, open-access forum, grounded in interdisciplinary plant studies, that explores plant–human interactions in all spatial, temporal and cultural contexts. Plant Perspectives encourages new directions and innovative approaches in the study of the sensory, instrumental and affective entanglements between human, vegetal and ecological spheres. Deadline is 1 of September, 2023!
