An Ear to Ethnobiologists

Setting up a series of DIALOGUES with ethnobiologists for the project ‘A Certain Herb’.

Last week the project ‘A Certain Herb’ travelled to Marrakech, Morocco, to the Congress of the International Society of Ethnobiologists: Biodiversity and Cultural Landscapes: Scientific, Indigenous and Local Perspectives. Held at the Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, the Congress brought together four hundred ethnobiologists from seventy different countries. Amongst those researchers were many who have valuable insights to bring to the investigation into the contents of the contraceptive pessary that BĂ©atrice de Planissoles and her priest lover used in the 13th century, and who have generously agreed to be a part of the upcoming Dialogues.
