Annual Kent-Kew Distinguished Ethnobotanist Lecture
The Annual Ethnobotany Lecture was founded in 2000 and is a highlight of the academic year for the Ethnobotany postgraduate programme. It is sponsored jointly by the Centre for Biocultural Diversity at Kent and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. The lectureship is awarded to ethnobotanists who have made a significant impact on the subject, and who have established a reputation in the public understanding of science.
