From ecocriticism that features fantastical plants, biological studies and concerns \u003cbr\u003eabout changing plant biodiversity, environmental focus on the role of plants in mitigating climate \u003cbr\u003echange, neo-liberal campaigns to offset carbon through tree plantings, and popular tropes of \u003cbr\u003ethinking and feeling plants, we see plants as front and center of imaginations for planetary \u003cbr\u003efutures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs scholars who have tracked the shifting focus from human to animal studies and now \u003cbr\u003eplant studies, we believe something is afoot. We examine the current moment through an \u003cbr\u003eexamination of the histories that have brought us here, a theorization of the current moment, and \u003cbr\u003efinally the lessons we can learn through such analyses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Sushmita Chatterjee\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor and Chair in the Department of Race, Gender, and Ethnic Studies at Colorado State University.
