About me
Jen is as a freelance research and evaluation consultant, specialising in STEM engagement and participation, with a particular focus on equity and social justice. A recovering academic, she has worked on the ASPIRES and Enterprising Science projects as part of the core team developing the concept of science capital, and more recently been involved in Making Spaces, which examined equitable practices in makerspaces. Her broader research/evaluation interests include learning and engagement in early years, families and school groups in informal science environments, including the implications of work on science capital in those settings. She has over 20 years’ experience of evaluation and research around learning and engagement in informal settings.
