ACES affiliate member and seed grant recipient Rebeca Ibanez Martin’s research appeared in Cultural Anthropology Series

6 February 2023

Thanks to the ACES funding for the ethnographic research - "Human and Non-Human Mobilities in Dutch and Spanish horticultural greenhouses", research carried out by ACES affiliate member Rebeca Ibanez Martin, together with Maan Barua (Cambridge) and Marthe Achtnich (Oxford) appeared in Cultural Anthropology Series. Researchers interrogate in what ways does the "Plantationocene" offer an analytic for specifying a planetary condition.

Driven by this question, this collection of short essays provides a series of provocations on how alternate understandings of ecologies, nature-society relations, and mobilities might be formulated in light of global environmental transformations. Such understandings foreground the dynamics of colonialism, capitalism, and race, whilst grounding accounts of planetary change.
