Hello! My name is Cherry Canovan and I am a Research Fellow embedded with the Widening Participation team at the University of Central Lancashire. My research interests include the impacts of science festivals, as well as widening participation in STEM and higher education more generally. You can find full details of my academic work on this website, but also information about some of my personal interests, including unisex names, my previous career in education journalism, and my PhD in Mathematical Physics.
