Hi, I’m @jennifermjones on Twitter.

As of July 2017, I am a lecturer in Service Design, involved in setting up Scotland’s first accredited Service Design Academy based at Dundee and Angus College.

I am also a freelance digital media practitioner and independent researcher.

I’m interested in user research and digital transformation where my work focuses on social media (in 2015 I became one of JISC’s top 50 most influential social media professionals in Higher Education), media education, citizen journalism, media democratization and major events.

I was the project coordinator on the Creative Scotland funded #citizenrelay and more recently, for the Big Lottery funded Digital Commonwealth project, managing a national practice-research digital literacies project around Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

I have a passion for alternative and community media, working with art, educational and community groups across the UK to develop media and digital literacies and are interested in media activism around events and participatory media as an educational tool.

I completed a PhD part-time at the University of the West of Scotland. It was an ethnographic study of citizen journalism, media activism & media democracy at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
