The Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR) at Harvard Divinity School (HDS) is excited to announce “Thinking with Plants and Fungi: An Interdisciplinary Exploration into the Mind of Nature,” a three-day conference held at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

This conference convenes scholars from across the sciences, humanities, and social sciences with artists, culture keepers, activists, and practitioners to explore how plants and fungi help us rethink the nature of mind and matter and humans’ relationship to the more-than-human world. How might plants and fungi invite us to reimagine cooperation, flourishing, and co-existence amidst ongoing ecological and social crises? 

The conference will consist of keynote presentations and panel discussions. Confirmed speakers include Merlin Sheldrake, Giuliana Furci, Emanuele Coccia, Banu Subramanian, Jessica J. Lee, Zoë Schlanger, Monica Gagliano, Michael Marder, and others.
