Dr. Gould's research addresses two primary topics: the nonmaterial values associated with ecosystems and environmental education. Issues of equity, justice, and connecting with communities motivate and guide the research. In her values-related work, she studies Cultural Ecosystem Services and relational values, which include phenomena such as ecosystem-based recreation, spiritual connections with ecosystems, and cultural heritage associated with ecosystems. In her environmental education work, she studies how people learn about the environment in their everyday lives – for instance, when buying food or deciding how to get from place to place – and how that learning connects (or does not connect) to their behavior.
