Thrilled to have this piece published in @orionmagazine.bsky.social—a short enumeration on five new terms to use when thinking and speaking about invasive species. orionmagazine.org/article/reco...

Invasive species management has little to do with ecology and everything to do with economics Which is exactly why some introduced species, like 'cattle', are not treated as invasive while anything that harms it is Full ep with @clarefollmann.bsky.social: www.planetcritical.com/clare-follmann/

This Sunday we're hosting "Scapegoat" author Clare Follmann and activist Patty Krawec for a virtual conversation about the the outdated narrative of "invasive species"! Sign up at app.hi.events/event/7245/i... 🌿 @akpress.org @clarefollmann.bsky.social @daanis.ca

New podcast interview just dropped! So thrilled and honored to be a guest on Planet Critical with Rachel Donald. Beaming and blushing about this one! @planetcritical.bsky.social www.planetcritical.com/clare-follma...

Had such a great time chatting with Patrick Farnsworth of Last Born in the Wilderness Podcast -- listen below!

Author @clarefollmann.bsky.social examines the invasive species story, identifying the language used to categorize certain sets of species as “invasive”—often framed in the xenophobic rhetoric of border nationalism and racial purity. 🎧 www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/cla...

“We are producing our reality through the stories we choose to tell and the metaphors that we use to narrate them.”Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explores the power of metaphor to shape our perception of the world—and references my book—in this @lithub.com.web.brid.gy article. lithub.com/where-physic...

It’s taken a long time and a lot of work to get here. And now that the book is finally published I am very proud and kind of scared, but mostly I am hoping that my book can help inspire a better way of living with the world and one another. At the end of the day, that’s why I wrote it.

Running Wild: Invasive species as a problem of capitalism and colonization open.substack.com/pub/revolpre...

Drawing on environmental science and semiotics, Scapegoat recounts how the use of biased rhetoric and inaccessible language has created support for a popular but misleading war of “native” against “invasive” that does nothing to address the root causes of biodiversity loss: capitalism.

In 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘵: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘞𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, Clare Follmann challenges received wisdom on invasive species that distracts from (and even justifies) a far greater threat to biodiversity: the global capitalist system that is destroying our planet. www.akpress.org/scapegoat.html
