Christian Keeve

Christian Keeve is a PhD student in Geography at the University of Kentucky. A seed saver and chaotic gardener, they’re fascinated by the everyday more-than-human sorts of relations and cooperative practices behind seed conservation and plant breeding. Their research concerns in situ agrobiodiversity conservation, or the things that people do (or don’t do) with seeds, and the things that seeds may (or may not) do on their own. Currently, they are trying to think through the socioecological knowledge politics, archival practices, and cooperative geographies of seed work through Black, queer, and liberatory ecologies.
