ENVS-39902 Perspectives on Invasive Species In this course, we will explore the concept of invasive species through a wide variety of fields, including ecology, history, sociology, and poetry. We will consider the definitions of native, alien, and invasive, asking what conditions lead to biological "invasions" across local, regional, and global scales. We will examine these ideas in relation to the complex history of human movement and changing relationship to the land. Focusing primarily on the U.S. (including Hawai?i) and the Caribbean, we will consider how invasion biology relates to the history of colonialism, immigration policy, and land management practices on those places.
