I have been working in social research and evaluation since 2000. My favourite things to chat about, apart from my kids and how good Wollongong is:
* evaluation capacity building
* design thinking and innovation
* evaluative practice in education, particularly in schools
* public sector evaluation policy and strategy
* the linkages between social/market research and evaluation.
I served on the AES Board from 2012-15.
