Chris Jadallah is an Assistant Professor in Environmental Justice Education at UCLA's School of Education and Information Studies. His research agenda explores the social, cultural, and political dimensions of science education in environmental contexts, emphasizing community-based and place-based learning environments. Jadallah works across various socioecological contexts such as diversified farming systems and river restoration efforts, interrogating issues of power, place, and participation that mediate learning opportunities in service of socioecological transformation. His work is driven by a commitment to community-engaged scholarship, which entails collaborating with community partners to co-design, implement, and study initiatives that build capacity for sustainable futures. His goals include creating and deepening opportunities for individuals and communities to contribute knowledge and practices related to social and environmental justice, disrupting conventional hierarchies in environmental decision-making, and making visible the relationships between broader systems of power and the moment-to-moment processes of learning.
