“I just do not have more energy to deal with this!”
Transitions for college age individuals can be very stressful and researchers have long called for more research. In this essay, we discuss findings from an introductory college classroom where we asked students to report on their mental health. Combined with information from the literature and personal experiences, we highlight greater concerns about student stress following the 2020 global pandemic. Here we combine our insight and professional …
Segregation Histories, Wealth, and Community Engagement Shape Inequitable Burdens of Urban Greening
Incorporating vegetation into urban landscapes (hereafter, greening) has numerous ecological and social benefits. Not all greening processes are intentional, though, and not all nature conveys benefits to urban residents under conditions of uneven urban development, racial segregation, and unrecognized care work. We describe a framework for integrating multiple lines of evidence to explore the social contexts and socioecological impacts of urban …
Promoting systems thinking through perspective taking when using an online modeling tool
Introduction Disagreements between people on different sides of popular issues in STEM are often rooted in differences in “mental models,” which include both rational and emotional cognitive associations about the issue; especially given these issues are systemic in nature. Methods In the research described here, we employ the fuzzy cognitive mapping software MentalModeler (developed by one of the authors) 1 as a tool for articulating implicit an…
The effects of educator’s level of environmental literacy on their issue identification practices
Research on environmental literacy in students and adults has often used ratings of high and low to indicate the extent of one’s environmental literacy. Such ratings miss the nuances that a continuum could provide. This study uses a contextual perspective on environmental literacy which includes such a continuum to examine the relationship between level of environmental literacy and patterns of environmental issue identification. Based on respons…

Impacts and Implications of Researcher Identity and Academic Practice
Model-based reasoning to foster environmental and socio-scientific literacy in higher education
Knowledge Gain and Behavioral Change in Citizen-Science Programs
Citizen-science programs are often touted as useful for advancing conservation literacy, scientific knowledge, and increasing scientific-reasoning skills among the public. Guidelines for collaboration among scientists and the public are lacking and the extent to which these citizen-science initiatives change behavior is relatively unstudied. Over two years, we studied 82 participants in a three-day program that included education about non-native…
