Dawn is a self-employed researcher, project manager and evaluator working primarily in the creative arts and cultural sectors. She works mainly in the arts, heritage and cultural sectors as a director of her own company, Cameron& Ltd. Her recent work includes the completion of a piece of thematic research entitled  ‘How diverse are we, really?’ for Arts Council England’s Creative People and Places programme; evaluation of the Royal Literary Fund’s Writing for Life programme; evaluation of Opera North’s Orpheus Reimagined; evaluation of Jamaica Society Leeds’ Eulogy and Out of Many Festival programmes; and evaluation of Opal 22’s Casta: the origins of caste exhibition.

Over the past 16 years Dawn has been engaged by clients to carry out several research and evaluation assignments. She has a particular interest in storytelling approaches and in interrogating the ways in which notions of co-production are operationalised in project delivery. She is interested in working on projects which seek to deliver social and cultural change and which enable individuals to engage in creative practice.
