Liz Cooper, an Associate Professor and Social Sciences Librarian at the University of New Mexico (USA), recently traveled through Greece to interview herbal practictioners about how they acquired their knowledge of herbs. She found that socio-economic shifts in the mid-twentieth century disrupted traditional generation-to-generation knowledge sharing about herbs and today, practitioners are actively rebuilding knowledge through books, libraries, archives, the internet, formal coursework, and local communities of practice. During the residency, she is writing up her research for publication and using her time in Istanbul to explore connections to her Greek fieldwork, hoping to spark future research projects.
