We are excited to welcome Dr. Kelly Tzoumis, a professor of Environmental Public Policy and Public Administration at Depaul University, to the podcast. The focus of the episode was a specific aspect of her work: The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP). The NEP is a survey consisting of 15 questions used to measure environmental concern among a group of people. Our insightful conversation with Dr. Tzoumis consisted of discussing the survey itself, the importance of understanding how factors like race and socio-economic status influence environmental worldview, the applications of the NEP in environmental policy, and more. How do you think your background influences your environmental worldview?
