About me
Dr. Amal Ibourk, Associate Professor of Science Education at Florida State University, studies how teaching and learning are shaped by identity, story, and place. She partners with teachers and schools to create hands-on experiences—such as community gardens—that connect students to local environments in meaningful ways. Her work emphasizes relational, caring, and community-based approaches that help educators and students explore environmental topics. She focuses on weaving local, place-based practices and diverse ways of knowing into science education to foster responsibility toward the natural world.
