she/herElizabeth Ascroft
Elizabeth Ascroft is an
ESRC-funded PhD student at the
Open University (UK) and her research explores creative collaboration for producing sexuality education materials with young people in the Caribbean. She is guided by post-humanist and new-materialist inquiry and is motivated by ensuring the meaningful and ethical application of research in practice. Being a researcher is her chosen form of activism and she uses creative, arts-based methods as a tool to facilitate space for collective knowledge generation. At the feminist media studio, she is currently exploring the affordances of the ‘zine-ic’ in her research-creation work. As a practitioner, Elizabeth has over seven years experiences in gender, sexuality, sexual health, and rights programmes for young people and works as a freelance consultant and creative facilitator.
She loves to laugh and takes great pleasure in sharing, creating and being with others.
