As we navigate the world, we gain insights into possible futures and learn from these experiences. This dissertation aims to better understand and describe this learning process to help design and foster a more just world. The lack of urgency from the broader public-particularly those in power-to address the imminent threat of climate change reveals a fundamental disconnect from reality. This disconnect stems from different ontological ways of understanding nature, its agency, and our relationship with it. By examining these varying ontologies, we can better understand how different worldviews shape our responses to environmental challenges and work to bridge the gaps in our collective approach to addressing climate change. This research investigates how individuals develop and maintain their relationship with the natural world, challenging traditional human-nature dichotomies and exploring alternative approaches to environmental education.The first study demonstrates how even minimal interventions through priming can shift individuals toward more ecocentric mindsets, influencing ecological decision-making. The second study explores identity development among underrepresented students in the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program, revealing how inclusive educational spaces can foster both personal growth and transformation within the conservation field. The third study examines complex systems thinking through an activity that incorporates Indigenous teaching methods and relational ontologies to foster students' connections with nature.Together, these studies reveal that rigid categorization and static identity constructs limit our understanding of human-environment relationships. The findings suggest that more fluid, dynamic approaches to understanding identity formation and ecological relationships are necessary. This research demonstrates how embracing diverse perspectives, relational thinking, and Indigenous knowledge systems can transform our fundamental understanding of human-nature relationships, ultimately supporting more sustainable and just approaches to conservation.
