About the speaker...

Dr. Saskia Cornes is an assistant professor of the practice at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University and Director of the Duke Campus Farm. She holds a PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University, where her work focused on the emergence of private property as a guiding logic in the culture and agriculture of 17th century England, and as a key point of origin for the climate crisis. A farmer by vocation, she learned regenerative agriculture through a range of on-farm apprenticeships, and through post-graduate study at the Center for Agroecology at UC Santa Cruz. In her work now, she weaves teaching, farming, and more traditional forms of research together to rework our relationship to food, and to the land and people that grow it.
