Jennifer (Jenn) da Rosa, Ed.D. is the inaugural Director of the Environmental Sustainability and Management graduate program at Goucher College. She is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies with a specialization in climate change education. Dr. da Rosa has a background in geology, oceanography, and climate science education. Her work focuses on the social dimensions of climate change, particularly how education, policy, and behavioral economics shape public understanding and action. Dr. da Rosa’s research explores the intersections of climate science, policy adoption, and societal attitudes, with an emphasis on climate change misconceptions and resistance to scientific consensus. She is also interested in how extreme weather events influence climate policy, as well as the role of environmental education in shifting public perceptions and behaviors. Her current research examines the politicization of science, both historically and in the present, to better understand the forces shaping public trust in scientific institutions. She advocates for experiential and active learning strategies to engage diverse audiences, particularly adult learners and policymakers, in meaningful climate action.
