Lucy works on the Our Town initiative, helping develop inclusive, community-led approaches to change. Lucy is a PhD-qualified researcher in the area of youth, family and community empowerment and agency, and has co-authored three books that share theory and insights from practice based research, focusing on practitioner research and evaluation with groups and communities. Lucy’s previous experience is focused around working with the social sector to measure their impact and develop social R&D with the goal to to support people and communities facing inequality to become empowered and develop agency. Lucy has a knack for listening to people in a way that supports them to hear themselves think, which she believes helps people better understand themselves amid the complexities of life: the starting place of any social impact. When she’s not at work, you’ll find her off on an adventure in the great outdoors, either riding her bike in the Adelaide Hills or walking with her dogs.
