research overview
- As Director of the Civic Ecology Lab, I work with graduate students and colleagues to explore the interactions among: community-based environmental stewardship (civic ecology) practice, education and learning situated in these practices, the individuals involved, and the larger communities and ecosystems in which the practices and people are situated. We are particularly interested in the individual, community, and environmental outcomes of civic ecology practice and education. Our research is informed by and contributes to trans-disciplinary perspectives in social-ecological systems resilience, environmental education, and urban ecology. Cornell Extension Associate Keith Tidball serves as Associate Director of the Civic Ecology Lab. We work in community garden, community forestry, watershed enhancement, and related restoration programs in New York City, Fort Drum NY, Ithaca NY, New Orleans, Cape Town, and South Korea. Collaborators include the Stockholm Resilience Centre (urban social-ecological systems and knowledge management and social networks research themes), UNESCO Urban Biosphere Program, Cornell Cooperative Extension-Jefferson County, MillionTreesNYC, and numerous community-based organizations engaged in environmental restoration and education. Current projects include: Resilience, Learning, and Environmental Education (editors: ME Krasny, C Lundholm, and R Plummer). This special issue of Environmental Education Research (fall 2010), also to be published as a book by Taylor and Francis (2011), explores foundational concepts and trans-disciplinary scholarship coupling social-ecological system resilience and environmental education, as well as adaptive co-management, education, and governance practices in Zimbabwe, Sweden, The Netherlands, the UK, and the US, and in trans-national networks focused on biodiversity and climate change. Greening in the Red Zone (editors: KG Tidball and ME Krasny). This book to be published by Springer-Verlag (2011) explores how people use greening activities to aid in recovery following disaster and conflict. Examples include post-Katrina New Orleans, reconciliation initiatives in Cyprus and the former Yugoslavia, and soldiers and military communities impacted by deployment in the US. Trans-disciplinary Perspectives in Environmental Education and Related Fields. (editors: ME Krasny, J Dillon, and J Dickinson). This book to be published by Peter Lang (2011) represents an experiment in trans-disciplinary scholarship. It documents new areas of scholarship that emerge from guided discussions among researchers in environmental education, community-based natural resource management, environmental governance, science education, art and engineering, communication, animal behavior, environmental sociology, natural history, civic engagement, social science research methods, ecosystems, and conservation psychology. Social Capital and Sense of Place among Youth Engaged in Civic Ecology Practice (collaborators: Alex Kudryavtsev, Richard Stedman, Stephanie Graf, Leigh Kalbacker). In an attempt to explore individual and community impacts of civic ecology education, we have adapted for use with youth, and tested for validity and reliability, social capital and sense of place surveys used with adult populations. We are currently implementing these surveys to measure impacts of youth programs in NYC and Fort Drum NY. Ecosystem Services Outcomes of Environmental Education (collaborators: Philip Short and members of the North American Association for Environmental Education, Alex Kudryavtsev). We are developing measures to determine the impact of civic ecology and environmental education programs on social-ecological systems, including ecosystem services. Methods include a full day workshop at meetings of the North American Association for Environmental Education and ongoing research in after-school programs engaged in watershed restoration.

Teaching
teaching overview
- I have an active graduate program with 6 PhD students and one MS student in 2009-10. My current graduate students are part of my Civic Ecology Lab, and conduct research on the individual, community, and ecosystem outcomes of community-based environmental restoration and related environmental education programs. Research sites range from after-school programs involved in restoration of the Bronx River watershed in NYC, 4-H civic ecology education programs in military communities in upstate NY, community forestry post-disaster in New Orleans, community and environmental engagement for at risk youth in Ithaca NY, and village groves in Korea. Several students who are in the latter stages of their work focus on citizen science and resident environmental education programs. Recent graduates are working in faculty positions at Antioch New England and Dennison Universities. Although I do not have a formal teaching appointment, I supervise undergraduate research and extension interns, and work with the student organization Friends of the Gorge to involve students in enhancing recreation, stewardship, and safety in the campus gorges. As Chair of the Department of Natural Resources, I work with our Teaching and Curriculum Committee to support an undergraduate program that integrates the ecological and social sciences. I also work to: (1) incorporate the study of urban social-ecosystems in our undergraduate curriculum; (2) meet the needs of an increasingly diverse undergraduate student population; (3) incorporate sustainable practices into our ongoing work with students; (4) maintain field experiences for students in a time of limited budgets; and (5) build our graduate curriculum in partnership with other graduate fields. Finally, as Co-Chair of the Cornell Environmental Sciences Planning Committee, I will be working to plan for an integrated environmental sciences curriculum across campus.

Service
outreach overview
- Cornell’s Civic Ecology Lab seeks to support community gardening, community forestry, participatory watershed restoration, and other locally-organized civic ecology practices that integrate community and environmental outcomes. We are building awareness of these practices among practitioners in the fields of education; individual, community and ecosystem resilience, in particular after conflict and disaster; and natural resources management. Our approaches to extension include participatory action research, working in partnership with urban sustainability initiatives, and developing youth education programs. I serve as Director of the Civic Ecology Lab and Keith Tidball serves as Associate Director. Through my role as Chair of the Research Commission of the North American Association for Environmental Education, I also conduct outreach to environmental education researchers. Most of my effort thus far has been as co-chair of our annual Research Symposium. Currently, I am providing leadership for a number of efforts to expand theoretical perspectives and practice in environmental education through linking environmental education researchers with researchers in related fields.
