Amplifying the mental health of Black university students: A Black, mad and disability studies intersectional inquiry

The poor mental health of university students constitutes a contemporary global crisis. Black students’ mental health is particularly at risk due to institutional processes of anti-black racism, ableism and sanism; discrimination often not addressed by theory, policy and practice. This project addresses this truly intersectional problem. It draws on Black, mad and disability studies to explore and enhance the mental health of Black students in four English universities, working with Black students, academics, and professional service colleagues.

A family affair? Intergenerational economies of student debt and social mobility

Over the last decade, key policy changes to higher education funding, including the trebling of tuition fees in 2012, have increasingly transferred the costs of university within England from the state to individual students, and their families. There is limited research exploring how this increased indebtedness affects everyday life and conceptualisations of the future amongst graduates after they leave university, or its implications for future social mobility. Funded by the Leverhulme Trust, this intergenerational study will explore how indebtedness, linked to the 2012 tuition fee rise, is experienced both individually by graduates and collectively by their wider families by exploring your lived experiences, thoughts, and attitudes towards student debt.

RECOLLECT2 - recovery colleges characterisation and testing

The aim of the proposed research is to find out how Recovery Colleges can provide the most benefit to people to who use mental health services. This will help commissioners decide whether to fund them, managers decide how to run them, and students decide whether to attend.

Co-investigator: Professor Gary Winship
