The format for this debate on the issue of invasive species is loosely inspired by a theatrical form, “forum theater”, developed by the Brazilian theater practitioner Augusto Boal. This form aims at enabling the emergence of under-recognized voices, and is our attempt at responding the following questions: How does transdisciplinary research become visible? What forms suit its presentation?
