Educational psychologist Jenefer Husman’s research focuses on how students imagine their futures and how their futures influence learning in the present. She argues that thoughts about our futures can be transformative; changes in who we want to become can change what we do and who we are now. Jenefer has created educational programs providing access and support for under-served student in STEM fields, especially engineering.
