What would it mean to tell the stories of trees? How can we represent them in ways that do not rely on problematic forms of ventriloquism, which reinscribe inequalities, and which do not rely on various forms of empathy or sympathy?

The goal is to make PhD candidates able to critically reflect on the various ways to generalise, and what may be useful and relevant in their own research.
