Ben Wilder	2019	Cuéntame Más Phase Two: Digging deeper into the connection between people and place	Diversity Community Outreach Art-science Science communication Indigenous studies	Community gathering spaces that appeal to a full cross-section of an areas inhabitants are rare. Scarcer yet are public sites that engender a deep personal connection between an individual and a specific place. Tumamoc Hill, or Cemamagi Du’ag, the “hill of the horned lizard”, is one of those places. Nestled on the edge of Tucson’s birthplace and within two miles of Downtown, Tumamoc receives about 1,000 daily visitors. The current work builds on and is guided by a year of data attained through open ended surveys and a focused questionnaire that has identified salient themes of people’s connection to this place. Yet, many voices remain underrepresented and additional characteristics that underpin neutral community gathering spaces are to be identified. To fills these gaps this second phase of Cuéntame Más will reach out into underrepresented Latinx and indigenous communities and dig deeper to understand generalizable core elements that create a space for personal, community, and natural connections.

Monica Ramirez	2017	Democratizing Science: Developing Tools to Effectively Evaluate Co-Created Citizen Science Efforts in Rural Mining Towns	Citizen science Community-engaged research Impacts Resource extraction activities Outcomes Evaluation Public participation in scientific research Volunteer monitoring	To date, only a limited number of co-created citizen science (CS) projects where community members are involved in most or all steps of the scientific process have been, and even less in conjunction with risk communication. Concomitantly, there is a dire need to assess and standardize the evaluation of CS programs. Using a mixed method approach and combining quantitative and qualitative assessment tools, this project will evaluate potential differences in knowledge of contaminate fate and transport and environmental pollution and understanding of governmental environmental policy and regulations, as well as internal and external motivations and self-efficacy for environmental action and learning and performing science. This information is critical to move citizen science efforts forward and to determine whether such a project co- produces environmental monitoring, exposure assessment, and risk data in a form that will be directly relevant to the participant's lives and increases the community’s involvement in environmental decision- making.

Monica Ramirez	2016	Improving Environmental Health Literacy at Mining Sites: Framing Community Perspectives via a Citizen Social Science Program	environmental health citizen social science mining environmental literacy public perception of mining public participation community-engaged research	Mining operations pose a potential risk to human health and the environment. Climate change will only exacerbate the risks posed by mining in arid and semi-arid environments like the desert Southwest. When combining the issues associated with mine-site rehabilitation and sustainability, the most critical issue that arises is generating a standard for determining the ‘acceptable’ rehabilitation of the land and how to reduce environmental health threats. Understanding the current state of environmental health literacy, the needs of community members neighboring mining areas, and the community’s perspective on the extent of health, social, cultural and biophysical disruption from mining activities must be properly addressed to conduct and improve environmental health promotion programs. The aims are to build community-academic partnerships in mining communities in Pima County and the Tohono O’odham Nation and capture the voice of communities via the community based participatory research method known as photovoice.
