Ethnobotany Class 2008
From NarratingLandscapes
The course objectives include doing original research projects, sharing them using this wiki over the course, and thus contributing to a collective project that will grow as each generation of students of ethnobotany contribute over the years. See NarratingLandscapes Project for more background information.

User:Malonem: Hi everyone, I'm linking all of your user profiles and assignments as you add to the site. If you haven't already, tell us a bit about yourself and what you might research for the class.
FeliceWyndham 03:20, 30 July 2008 (UTC)additional categories of relationships needed include, "ecological", perhaps "phenological"? , "technological", "cosmological", "healing"... "food"
--As we use the site more, I will work on developing our user-guidelines. I'm thinking we might want to limit photos, for example, to ones that the author took themselves, avoiding pasting in from other sites. The point of this site is not so much to be the authoritative reference, but rather to explore the personal and group relationships of landscape, people and plants.
DylanGordon 20:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC) I have made most of the changes requested (aside from help text!), I will add ecological, phenological, technological, cosmological, healing and food, plus anymore anyone suggests? --
