Nicole Ardoin, Assistant Professor, School of Education; Center Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment
I research the use of social strategies— such as education, communications, and social marketing— by non-governmental organizations to engage individuals and communities in decision-making related to natural resource management. I also work in the area of visitor studies and environmental education program evaluation in environmental education centers, parks, natural history museums, zoos, and aquariums.
Human Dimensions of Natural Resource Management
