Tim and all: Tim's email raises a good question about the list of graduate programs in geoeducation and geocognition. Should this list include Phd/EdD programs in Education, such as Wyoming's, where there might be opportunity to focus on the geosciences and collaborate with geologists? I know of a couple dozen such programs - I'm thinking we should have two lists: one where graduate programs/advisors would be either housed in geoscience programs or joint between geoscience and education/psychology; and a second where graduate programs/advisors would be primarily in colleges of education. These represent two different career trajectories, I think...What would be most helpful to the community, and particularly to our prospective graduate students? This is a great opportunity to discuss! Also, Tim: Do you have a dual track at Wyoming where students can earn a degree in Ed or in Geology/Geophysics?
