I manage communications for the Centre for Research in Digital Education. My previous research focused on digital and mobile approaches to engagement and evaluation of cultural experience, including the AHRC Artcasting project and Litlong (School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures). My professional background, connecting young people (in schools) with arts, creative and cultural activity, directly influenced my doctoral study of cultural value in publicly funded (participatory) arts projects. I continue to supervise MSc Education students, undertake consultancy (arts engagement) and project management.
