Dr. Rupu Gupta, Building Community

Dr. Rupu Gupta is a conservation psychologist at the New Knowledge Organization, whose research focuses on inclusion and equity in the environmental field. Her interests are in what motivates or hinders people to care for nature and the environment. In this episode, we revisit Dr. Gupta’s paper about the diversity of the environmental field. We also talk about collaboration and bringing attention to the work of independent educators. This is a two-part episode. Next week we’ll discuss a professional development exercise developed by Dr. Gupta and her colleagues.  Show Notes Talaterra, Episode 14 - Revisit Dr. Gupta’s paper about how many educators work in the environmental field.  New Knowledge Organization (now Knology.org) National Association for Interpretation Civic Ecology Lab, Cornell University North American Association for Environmental Education _______________CREDITS:Producer: Tania MarienMusic: So Far So Close by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License;SOLO ACOUSTIC GUITAR by Jason Shaw is licensed under a Attribution 3.0 United States License.Subscribe to Transferable Solutions, a newsletter about reimagining environmental skillsContact UsTalaterra is an affiliate of Bookshop.org.
