Impact of a changing political environment on research on migration and health

So sad to be missing this! If any of you are lucky enough not to have other commitments late June and are interested in psychological networks, I would highly recommend the summer school (below) organised by @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social (who has the amazing skill of making complex topics accessible!)

Can’t believe my time in Oxford is already over! Huge thank you to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social (best host ever?) and the fantastic @edgelab.bsky.social (best lab ever?) for an incredible research stay! I doubt it’s the the last you’ll be seeing of me ☺️

Not sure how to feel about this.. To be fair, my @quantitude.bsky.social minutes might look high, but based on the average length of an episode that’s only about two episodes. Thx for introducing me to this @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social. You’ve created a monster..

After an unexpected conversation at a formal with Prof Javier García Oliva, I somehow ended up chairing the Q&A for an interdisciplinary panel on… exorcism just a couple of months later 🕯️ @magdalencollege. 🧵..

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

It's been a great first year at Oxford EDGE Lab, and a privilege to work with this wonderful group of students and visiting researchers. Our first two students to complete their degrees have both graduated with distinctions: congratulations @mikaeladizon.bsky.social & @olenakhailenko.bsky.social! 🎉

🔔 Publication alert! Migrants from non-EEA+ regions were less likely to seek professional mental health help than non-migrants, but only at high psychological distress levels, and especially when they did not recognise symptoms as a mental health problem. #mentalhealth #publichealth

Great to hear Ana Paula Martins, Portuguese Health Minister, speak at #GSMERH2025: “Migration is not a burden to be managed. It is an opportunity, when societies choose inclusion.”

Main take-away messages from Day 0 #GSMERH2025: Migration health needs networks not silos, real community engagement, & research that serves policy & people. Shift the narrative from burden to resilience, root work in anti-racism & solidarity, and protect the next generation of researchers. 🌍

Day 0 GSMERH 2025 take-away: We don’t necessarily need more evidence on migrant health. We need to use what we already know differently and with more focus on engaging communities @gsmerh.bsky.social

The Duke Humphrey’s library in Oxford is hands down the most beautiful place I’ve ever sat down to work! Also became very aware that I was surrounded by books that are essentially older than my entire discipline 📚

Honoured to have been invited by my friend (and colleague) Raz to her podcast "Razoocast" to talk about mental health and help-seeking among people with a migrant background. See the episode on YouTube (importantly: with Farsi subtitles): www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmVv...

🔔 Publication alert! Findings suggest that men’s willingness to seek help for mental health is underestimated not only by other men but women too. Lower willingness to disclose help-seeking may play a role! Check it out: rdcu.be/efguZ

1st post 🎉about me: I’m a Postdoc with an interest in better understanding the mental health treatment gap between individuals with a migrant background and the majority pop. Ultimately I’m motivated by tackling inequalities in mental health. Hoping to connect with other relevant people here!
