NEW - Uncovering Mutual Understanding on Immigration with Open-Ended Survey Questions - https://cup.org/4cXArLR - Soran Hajo Dahl (University of Bergen) #OpenAccess

Check out this cool, new paper if you’re interested in (perplexed by?) polarisation: After lots of hard work my wonderful and clever partner @soranhd.bsky.social has published the first paper from his PhD in British Journal of Political Science! As single author no less 🙌

We’ve published a new Comment on how today’s political climate is shaping migration & health research. When funding is cut & evidence sidelined, policy drifts from data, inequities deepen & health systems weaken. @profkarlblanchet.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

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.

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: #Ulikhet er en helserisiko. Vi så at #ungdomsrøyking ga dårligere helse som voksen blant dem med foreldre med lav utdanning. Dvs. #folkehelse handler ikke bare om atferd, men også om sosiale forskjeller. Kronikk: www.forebygging.no/Kronikker/20... (🇬🇧 below)

Excited to share our new publication out in Depression and Anxiety! A network analysis of dimensions of anhedonia, depression symptoms, and social anxiety symptoms in university students 🧵 doi.org/10.1155/da/5... (1/10)

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! 🎉

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: Innvandrere er mer åpne for #psykisk #helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv. 🇬🇧 New op-ed: Migrants in Norway are more open to #mental #healthcare than we assume – and than migrants themselves assume. www.dagensmedisin.no/forskning-ps... @kunstjonas.bsky.social

🔔Publication alert! 🧵1/4 Migrants in our study underestimated other migrants’ willingness to seek mental health help… #migranthealth #mentalhealth #publichealth doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

🔔 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.”

Day 1 at #GSMERH2025: Ricardo Baptista Leite CEO of HealthAI on how AI should not just be integrated into old dysfunctional systems but is a chance to reimagine healthcare.

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

At GSMERH 2025 @gsmerh.bsky.social Day 0, migration health networks took the stage. From MiHSA to MHADRI (largest migration network globally): networks matter, check them out and join them!

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 📚

So excited to be visiting @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social and the wonderful people at Oxford EDGE lab for the next 6 months! This is going to be fun! @ox.ac.uk

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

Stumbled over this gem of a course on Migration, Health & Equity, made by a collab incl Lancet Migration Europe++ Looks into how migration impacts health, what we know, what we’re still figuring out, and how we can do better! Also... it's FREE! 🔗 coursera.org/learn/migration-health-equity

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!
