In this webcast, an interdisciplinary group of Cornell University experts will discuss how the concept of invasion characterizes the movements of humans, plants, and animals as threatening. They’ll dive into the range of work that address "invasive species," exploring how it aligns with or diverges from human-centered notions of invasion. In discussing this fraught concept, this panel of scholars in anthropology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and geography will also address what research that examines or problematizes “invasion” reveals about our understanding of borders and mobility.
This event is part of our Migrations series, sponsored by Cornell’s Migrations initiative
