She works globally, creating networks—both conceptual and participatory—between futures studies and other transversal fields, such as integral studies, global studies, transdisciplinary studies, postformal education and global youth movements. As a result of her wide-ranging experience she has developed an international profile as a keynote speaker and facilitator.

Jennifer has researched and published widely in educational and youth futures, and global socio-cultural change. She has recently co-edited two special issues: one for Futures: The journal of policy, planning and futures studies on “Global Mindset Change” and the second for the journal New Political Science on “The Changing Face of Political Ideologies in the Global Age.”

* Futures: The Journal of Policy, Planning and Futures Studies
