Title of Dissertation:
Unearthing Vegetal Intelligence: Biosemiotics and the Re-Enchantment of Nature in the Sentient Worlds of Sheri S. Tepper

Supervisor:
Professor David Huddart

As we begin to recognize the Anthropocene epoch, the sentient worlds of Sheri S. Tepper offer insight into the potential for an anti-anthropomorphic paradigm shift by questioning the criteria that define intelligent life and how we recognize and decode biosemiotics while re-enchanting nature, leading toward biocentric egalitarianism and metaphysical holism.
