Bio
Rachel Gisewhite is an environmental and marine science educator that uses philosophical and qualitative methodologies to study youth, preservice teacher, and community member phenomenological experiences with the natural world and the more-than-human Other. She investigates how these experiences stimulate intellectual engagement for a deeper understanding of science content, their place in the (social and natural) world, the recognition of their responsibility for their collective and individual actions, and a charge to act with generosity to remediate or protect that which they are exploring.
