About Dr. Heather
Heather Clark is an assistant professor in the Division of Teacher Education at CSU Dominguez Hills. She received her PhD in urban schooling from UCLA and was a high school science teacher. Heather's teaching and research are dedicated to equity-oriented science teaching and learning with a focus on understanding how youth learn climate science in the pursuit of climate justice and how teachers learn to support those pursuits by developing justice-centered science pedagogies.
One of our initiatives, the Environmental and Climate Change Literacy Projects (ECCLPs), recently kicked off its multiple committees that are working together to support the urgent need to advance PK–12 environmental and climate change literacy by mobilizing the UC and CSU systems.
