Jennifer Brandsberg-Engelmann has been a social studies teacher for more than 25 years, specialising in economics. She has authored widely used textbooks in Economics, Business Management, and Environmental Systems and Societies, integrating new economic thinking and social enterprise themes into mainstream courses.

Most recently, Jennifer has led the development of a two-year secondary school course in Regenerative Economics, based on a syllabus co-created with Oxford economist Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics, and others. The course, supported by a freely available online textbook, equips young people to understand the diverse ways that people organize economic activity and how our economies are embedded in social and ecological systems.

Jennifer supports teachers and students at the grassroots level to bring regenerative ideas into their classrooms and contributes to national and international curriculum reviews in the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Ireland and the International Baccalaureate. By linking practice with policy, she advocates for economics education that prepares students to engage with real-world complexity and support human and ecological wellbeing.
