EVENT DETAILS
Technological advances revolutionized American agriculture in the 19th century. New machines and implements played key and familiar roles, but biotechnologies—in the form of new plant varieties, breeds of animals, and farming techniques—were of equal importance.
Join this year's Appel Fellow, Brendan Cooper, in conversation with James Oakes of the CUNY Graduate Center, as they discuss the relationship between politics and the spread of biotechnologies in the mid-19th century.
