We are happy to announce the next in a new series of Ethnobotany Webinars from ABC and the Sustainable Herbs Program: Ethnobotany and The Secret Life of Plants, a conversation with Dr. Claudia Ford.

In this webinar, ethnobotanist Claudia Ford, PhD will speak about her research into the uses of cotton and black haw to control pregnancy by African slaves and plantation owners in the American South during the 1800s. Sustainable Herbs Program Director Ann Armbrecht and Ford will talk about how traditional ecological knowledge is carried as its knowledge holders are forced to leave their homelands and why knowing this history matters.
