"Bridget McKenzie has a superb understanding of what students and teachers need regarding museums. She has an implicit understanding of what teachers need: beautifully presented, easily accessible materials and programmes that motivate and engage young people through creative enquiry, problem-solving and dialogue. Her work consistently challenges students to think about the larger issues, the bigger picture. She is at the top of her field. I have yet to meet someone more suited to stimulating students to learn within the context of museums, galleries and archives. Above all, she is very clear in her thinking and expression, extremely reliable, articulate in her explanation of her ideas, and innovative and inspiring in her execution of her ideas. Highly recommended.”
