Abstract
How societies describe and represent introduced species affects the policies used to manage them. This seminar uses perspectives from the humanities and social sciences to examine political, symbolic and practical aspects of biological invasions. Examples from contemporary art and media connect framing and perception with concrete conservation decisions.
