Alice is a communications and knowledge professional, working with the Sanitation Learning Hub, as well as projects focused on children and youth rights and participation. Alice’s academic background is in languages and literature, and she is interested in creating compelling and accessible stories from international development research.
In recent years, Alice has largely focused on training and facilitation. This has included delivering training to projects such as ‘The Gendered Price of Precarity‘ and to the SSHAP Fellowship, on core communications skills such as blogging, creating short videos, presentation skills and designing communications strategies using a user persona approach.
Alice is also passionate about participatory methods, with a particular interest in participatory visual methods. She is a trained Photovoice facilitator, supporting projects such as ‘Sustaining Power: Women’s Struggles against contemporary backlash in South Asia’, as well as designing and delivering courses to colleagues in IDS.
She has used Photovoice principles to inform the design and delivery of a course on visual communications in WASH and a 5-day workshop delivered in Portuguese to the ALIADAS programme in Mozambique, focusing on participatory visual methods for context monitoring.
Alice is a member of the Knowledge, Impact and Policy cluster and the Participation, Inclusion and Social Change cluster. She works with the latter on projects such as Rejuvenate, the Sanitation Learning Hub, Healing Justice and more broadly on the documentation of participatory methods via the Participatory Methods website.
