Hi,  my  name  is  Katie  Heran. I'm  in  the  Great  Class  of  2025  in the  Department  of  Religion here  at  Princeton  University. Today,  for  research  day, I  want  to  tell  you  about  my  senior  thesis. The  Camp  Hill  Movement  is a  global  network  of over  100  intentional  communities made  up  of  participants  with  and  without intellectual  and  developmental  disabilities. The  primary  method  of gardening  and  farming  utilized by  the  movement  is  known  as biodynamic  agriculture, which  my  research  explores. To  complete  my  thesis, I  started  by  visiting three  different  intentional  communities, all  of  which  are  associated  with an  international  disability  rights  push called  the  Camp  Hill  Movement. This  included  Camp  Hill, Minnesota  in  Saux  Center,  Minnesota, Camp  Hill  Newton  Dee  in  Aberdeen,  Scotland, and  Camp  Hill  Community  Trust, Botswana  in  Otse  Botswana. The  communities  I  visited  really  range  in size  from  35  residents  to  400. I  focused  on  the  farming  technique that  most  camp  Hills  use  for  my  thesis, which  is  called  biodynamic  agriculture or  biodynamics  for  short. This  is  a  spiritual farming  technique  that  attempts  to scientifically  work  with  the  cosmos and  epeic  beings  in  the  garden, like  trolls  and  fairies. Biodynamics  takes  the  existence  of a  spiritual  world  and  God  seriously, and  those  who  do  it  told me  all  about  their  commitment  to healing  the  Earth  and producing  spiritually  nourishing  food. I  outlined  three  main sections  of  my  findings, knowing,  belonging,  and  eating. I  argue  that  biodynamic  agriculture as  it  is  performed  in  camphill  communities, appeals  to a  multi  tiered  knowledge  system  that, one,  is  different  from other  forms  of  agriculture. Two,  promotes belonging  that  entitles  people  with different  ideological  connections  to biodynamics  to  work  alongside  one  another. And  three,  describes  nutrition as  a  spiritual  issue, promoting  morally  flexible  vegetarianism, but  not  mandating  the  consumption of  biodynamic  food. In  addition  to  my  argument, I  want  to  say  a  few  brief  words about  my  methodology. Since  my  project  was made  possible  only  through the  contributions  and  insights of  people  with  disabilities, it  was  important  to  me  that my  thesis  is  accessible  to  them. As  a  result,  I  took  a  stab  at  something new  that  I  called  accessible  scholarship. My  thesis  is  written  in a  font  friendly  to  readers  with  low  vision. My  chapters  start  with  a  narrative  story  as an  entry  point  for  people  who are  low  level  readers, and  there  are  20  images  and  charts, both  throughout  the  text  and  in a  guided  conclusion  section  that  offers discussion  questions,  tips,  and  exercises. Finally,  if  you  want  to listen  to  my  thesis,  you  can
