How does one 'become-plant'? Karen Houle joins us and guides us through her work on critical vegetal studies. We address how the notion of becoming-plant (a term originally coined by Deleuze and Guattari) challenges the traditional image of thought. What's more, we consider the ethical implications of becoming-plant while surveying its potential uses in addressing issues such as climate crisis and racial oppression.
