Unsettling Invasiveness – Migratory Relatives and Their Roles in Ecosystems We Share

How do educators talk about non-native species in ways that uphold respect, relationality, and responsibility? What does it mean to honor all beings—including those labeled “invasive”—as sacred life? In this Rhode Island Environmental Education Association workshop, Jeffrey Yoo Warren and lotus rodriguez invite educators to explore how colonial frameworks shape language, teaching, and relationships with migratory species, and examine how the concept of “invasiveness” can carry harmful narratives, especially for youth whose identities and communities have also been marked by displacement, migration, or forced resettlement. This participatory workshop includes hands-on creative work (zine-making), reflective dialogue, and embodied activities. Educators will leave with tools and perspectives to support more inclusive, critical, and compassionate environmental education—centering youth voice and experience along the way.
