Multispecies scholarship is caught between the desire to acknowledge our nonhuman kin and the need to acknowledge the mystery of other species. Nowhere might this tension be more great than with microbes, whose difference—both among microbial kinds and between them and humans — continues to surprise. In this talk, Dr Josh Evans will share some examples of his work with microbial and human fermenters on the culinary frontier to explore the promise and limits of ‘collaboration’ as a way to frame multispecies relationships.
This open lecture is part of the project ‘Microbes on the Mind’, funded by the Velux Foundation Core Group Awards and supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).
