Commissioned University of Melbourne workshops

Alisha designed and delivered commissioned gender equity workshops for the University of Melbourne through Soft Infrastructure, including practical tool and fabrication learning for women and gender-diverse participants and Gender Impact Analysis. The dedicated University project describes the commission and its connection with equitable access to Maker Spaces.

Gender impact analysis and gender equity learning

At Maribyrnong, she researched, designed and piloted a Gender Impact Analysis tool and facilitated a 90-minute workshop with internal and external participants. Her staff education included presentations to gender equity groups explaining gender, sex and sexuality and supporting a gender-diverse understanding of equity.

Language access, inclusive facilities and staff learning

Her translating-and-interpreting review included staff workshops, training, presentations and practical process guidance. She shared inclusive facilities learning through an IDAHOBIT presentation to Social Policy colleagues and established Lunch and Learn sessions with colleagues around local social and cultural issues.

Intercultural learning and policy exchange

As Australasia Intercultural Cities Network coordinator, Alisha facilitated seminars, chaired discussions, organised policy forums and developed training materials and guidance. Her Maribyrnong professional records also identify intercultural training and storytelling programmes; the anti-racism storytelling project describes workshops delivered through specialist partners.

Health and community-sector learning

Her documented contributions include mental-health training for local service providers at Merri-bek, a Sons of the West alcohol-and-other-drug prevention presentation, and facilitated workshops supporting homelessness service coordination. These examples cover learning, presentations and facilitated practice, with responsibilities varying by programme.

University teaching and research translation

Alisha contributed guest teaching, critique and assessment to RMIT Interior Design and spatial disciplines, and presented housing-practice learning through Housing@RMIT. These were teaching and practitioner-exchange contributions, alongside her separate University of Melbourne commission.
