My research interests largely revolve around methods of implementing my teaching goals of how to provide individualized learning to large groups of students, developing and utilizing active learning instructional strategies, and making connections between the material and students’ lives. Within that context, my primary research interest is in developing methods to effectively teach ecology and various aspects of biology in an urban setting. Intertwined with these goals, I also investigate and encourage both community based learning and reflective analysis as tools to broaden the horizons of science students.
