    Dr. Eleanor Pardini joined the Environmental Studies program in 2010.  She is a plant population ecologist.  She teaches undergraduate courses, mentors undergraduate research, and contributes to future faculty training.

     

    In my role with the Environmental Studies Program at Washington University in St. Louis, I lead programmatic curriculum design and learning assessment, teach undergraduate courses in ecology, research fundamentals, and science communication, and advise and mentor undergraduates. I strive to create engaging and inclusive learning spaces, bring heart and whole selves into the classroom, and intentionally use technology and active learning in my classes. I apply backward design and assessment data to course design and program-level curriculum design. I am passionate about engaging in courageous conversation spaces and internal institutional organizing and culture change. In my research, I study population dynamics of rare plants and coastal dune restoration. Below are some articles highlighting some of my teaching, service, and research.
