About Me
I am the Head of Audience Research at the Australian Museum, Sydney. I have published widely in museum evaluation and write the Audience Research in museums blog with a readership of around 500 per month. I am particularly interested in visitor experiences and learning and how these can be measured, young children’s learning, Indigenous evaluation, as well as the strategic uses of audience research and new technologies in organisational change. I am happily obsessed with all things Web 2.0 and curious to see how this will change the world that museums operate within and the ways people learn. In 2007 I completed my PhD in museum learning, and now that’s finished I am looking forward to the adventures the new web world will bring. For the next 12 months (to September 2009) I will also be resonsible for the overall management of the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes (AMEP) and the Museum's Web Unit, working with two wonderful managers to deliver on AMEP's 20th anniversary and the website rebuild.
