▼a To address this question, my dissertation develops a 'political ecology of seeds.' Building on the foundational account of seed primitive accumulation by Kloppenburg (1988), I examine several dimensions left underexplored in this and other accou |

▼a In the first paper, I critically interrogate meanings of 'diversity' via rivaling discourses of seed 'loss' and 'persistence' visible in the scientific, international policy, and farmer movement literatures over 40-plus years. On one hand, numer |

▼a My second paper considers crop wild relatives (CWR) as a fast-emerging site for new seed primitive accumulation. Faced with imminent climate change, scientists and agribusinesses are vying to develop crops that can survive drought, floods, and s |

▼a My third and final paper explores the US-based Open Source Seed Initiative as one example of repossession. OSSI has created an alternative to intellectual property rights with a 'protected commons' for seed. Commons scholarship has contributed m |
