Nurit Carmi is an Associate Professor in the department of Multidisciplinary Studies and Environmental Studies and the head of the Society and Environment Program in Tel-Hai College, Israel. Her main research interests are the interface between environmental literacy, psychology, sociology and evolution.
-
- Promotion of environmental literacy; Quantification and evaluation of environmental education (mainly in higher education)
- The socio-psychological factors that affect environmental behavior.
- Environmental threat perception as a factor that influences behavioral decision making in environmental contexts. The psychological factors that affect threat perception and prioritization.
- Psychological distance and time perspective. The relationship between individual differences in the attitude towards long-term problems (future orientation) and threat perception and prioritization.
-
- Introduction to Ecology
- Evolution of animal behavior
- Principles of biostatistics
- Advanced statistics for nutritional and clinical trials (for graduate degree students)
- Seminar in environmental literacy - society and Environment
