Dr. Lisa Delissio (biology) was interviewed by The Boston Globe for an article on her 51³Ô¹ÏÍø arboretum project, where she engages in field research with her BIO 300 Botany students.
As the Globe explains, through her work, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø has uncovered a lost history of botanical collecting, including an exchange relationship with the internationally recognized Arnold Arboretum. Dr. Delissio’s scholarship explores intersection of botany and public history through civic engagement and place-based experiential learning.
