Carol is an Associate Professor and Director of NUSTEM at Northumbria University.
Carol began working in education at Barnsley College as a Physics lecturer, and later taught at a large North East school. Moving into teacher education, she worked within the network of Science Learning Centres for over five years, and with the Institute of Physics as a Physics Network Coordinator for the Stimulating Physics Network.
Carol is an experienced curriculum designer and textbook author. She is also a governor at three different schools/colleges.
Carol's research interests include career aspirations in young children, and diversity in STEM.
My research interests are focused on diversity in STEM. With the NUSTEM team I research the attitudinal and behavioural changes required to increase the diversity and number of young people choosing STEM careers. I am interested in the factors which influence very young children's career choices, and how teachers and famillies can support these early choices.
I also work with organisations to help them develop impactful ways to support diversity in STEM, especially through the use of Theory of Change processes.
