Dr. Rupu Gupta is a conservation psychologist at the New Knowledge Organization whose research focus is 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.
