About Rupu
Conservation Psychologist and Project Evaluator at NewKnowledge rgupta@newknowledge.org
At the time of her involvement in Teaching Our Cities, Dr. Rupu Gupta was a conservation psychologist at NewKnowledge (Knology) with her recent research focusing on capacity building in urban conservation education contexts. She led the evaluation efforts of the EPA-funded EECapacity project that is building capacity in environmental education by promoting environmental literacy and expanding civic engagement. She also led the evaluation of The Nature Conservancy’s initiative to foster urban conservation towards building resilient urban communities, and Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo’s Interpretation Planning to advance their organizational capacity around conservation. Dr. Gupta has also led evaluation capacity building efforts for Friends of the High Line (FHL), the non-profit that oversees the maintenance, operations, and public programming for the High Line Park in New York City, and led staff training workshops and worked alongside FHL to implement a staff and volunteer managed public programs evaluation strategy. She also led the evaluation of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s (BBG) exhibits to support their transition to a newly designed Discovery Garden and also learn how the Visitor Center augments the BBG experience. http://www.newknowledge.org/
