Hello, I'm Maeve Bassett

MAEVE /ˈMEꞮV/ (RHYMES WITH CAVE)

Ethnobotanist [alternatively known as economic botany or plant humanities] exploring people's relationships with plants and their relationship with us.

I love learning about the history of plants and a region and utilizing that information to connect contemporary problems and discussions in a relatable way. I aim to figure out what aspects of plants and the natural world excite my audience the most, whether it's art, food, math, or cold war assassination methods.

Specialities: Plants and Human Sex and Gender | The Weird and Wild World of Botany | Plants in History and Lore

I specialize in transforming institutions into vibrant, inclusive hubs of botanical engagement through educational programs, strategic initiatives, or immersive exhibits. Think of me as a botanical matchmaker, connecting diverse communities with the wild stories of the plant world. With a proven track record of boosting engagement by over 600% and consistently exceeding institutional goals, I'm eager to contribute to innovative projects within museums, botanical gardens, and beyond.

Please reach out if I can help facilitate engagement and education between people and plants at your garden, organization, or publication. E-mail - Basset63@msu.edu
