At the Coalface
At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Philippe Rose.
Philippe's guests share stories about their life beyond the headlines of international affairs. They look for lessons learned about making an impact in the world as practitioners in diplomacy, international organisations, NGOs, journalism and the private sector.
Many of Philippe's guests are connected by their common experience of taking time away from work to attend Fletcher School's Global Master of Arts Programme.

Alexander Grif - Civilians in war: the impact of humanitarian advocacy
In this episode, I speak with Alexander Grif. Alexander is a passionate advocate for the protection of civilians - and as a humanitarian, he has dedicated his life to carrying out this advocacy where it matters, on the ground of some of the most protracted conflicts on Earth. It’s a real privilege to be having this conversation with Alexander. We explore the dilemmas of trying to make a difference in conflict zones for individuals, real people, whose lives are torn apart through no fault of their own.
Recorded on 24 January 2023.
