Heidi Ballard is Professor of Environmental Science Education and Founder and Faculty Director of the Center for Community and Citizen Science (CCS) in the School of Education at University of California, Davis. She conducts research focused on science and environmental learning that link communities, scientists, and environmental action. Her work focuses on what and how adults and youth learn through community science, citizen science and other forms of public participation in scientific research. She works in varied contexts, from natural history museums to Uganda farmer field schools to carceral settings, using primarily qualitative research methods in partnership with teachers, environmental educators, research scientists, and community-based organizations. Her publications span the fields of environmental and science education, ecology, conservation, social science, forestry, and agriculture. She was a high school biology teacher and science curriculum developer in California, before earning her MA in Science Education and Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management focused on forest ecology and natural resource social science. She trains undergraduates, pre-service teachers, and graduate students across the university in environmental science education and participatory action research methods, and leads teacher professional development workshops for teachers and out of school educators to bolster and support community and citizen science.
