Research Interests
My research interests include environmental education, climate change education, environmental learning in formal, nonformal and informal contexts, behavior change, professional development, social networks, social innovation, and engaged learning. I am currently embarking on research exploring nature-based environmental education, examining university students’ sense of place, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into teaching and learning, and accessing students’ engaged learning and transformative learning experiences. I collaborate with scholars across disciplines and bridges quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct interdisciplinary research in both online and face-to-face settings, and in different cultural contexts.
