About UNIDE
Welcome! The Undergraduate Network for Increasing Diversity of Ecologists (UNIDE) is a Research Coordination Network funded by the National Science Foundation. We aim to build a sustainable network of ecologists, educators, social scientists, and students who are committed to expanding ecology beyond its traditional priorities to include the experiences and interests of those who are most impacted by ecological change. 2025 marks the fifth year of our efforts and we are excited to share our efforts and to invite your participation to help realize our mission.
Mission
Our activities have been designed:
- To identify the barriers and challenges that must be overcome in order to increase retention in Ecology and Environmental (EE) disciplines
- To build a sustainable and interdisciplinary network of faculty, students and practitioners in ecology/environmental science, education and social sciences who develop, assess and promote expansive pedagogy in EE
- To characterize the ecological identity, or sense of belonging of students in EE
- To develop pedagogical approaches and team-building interventions that foster social-belonging of students in EE education
