Research projects:

A Place for Plants: The Politics of Botanical Geography in East Central Europe, 1850–1930

This project studies the emerging science of botanical geography in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the Habsburg Monarchy and its successor states. It aims to understand how naturalists in East Central Europe came to understand the geographical spaces where they conducted their botanist collecting and research and the role of shifting political borders to their research practices. (How) did knowledge about plants participate in the articulation or legitimation of competing visions of space in East Central Europe?
