Mastnak, T., J. Elyachar, and T. Boellstorff. 2014. Botanical decolonization: rethinking native plants. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 2014, volume 32, pages 363 – 380.

This article sets out the problems celebrating botanical cosmopolitanism. It illustrates why social science critiques of invasive species as xenophobic are overly simplistic. I think this is a good piece from which to begin conversations about the relations of power that shape species movements. 

Massey, Doreen. (1994) “A Global Sense of Place.” In Space, Place and Gender. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press.

A classic text from feminist geography that views "place" as cosmopolitan and mobile. It warns against simplistic and nativist views of place, while also taking political economy seriously. How can we re-engage and re-read Massey's famous text with more-than-human eyes? Is it possible to have a multispecies "global sense of place" or not?

This text is an attempt to attend to the geopolitics of soil fertility; in a sense, it is an example of world systems theory with attention to soil. This article also draws on Alfred Crosby's concept of "ecological imperialism," which is an important part of the EcoGlobal project. In social movement theory, there is plenty of scholarship about "other globalizations" that oppose imperialism via other kinds of global projects. What possibilities are there for imagining "other globalizations" with multispecies worlds?​
