Addressing complexity: intersectional approaches to understanding inequalities in mental health

Catch up on this session from the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health Conference held at Science Gallery London on 1 October 2024.
SESSION: Addressing complexity: intersectional and multiple-level approaches to understanding social inequalities in mental health
In a series of lightning talks, Centre researchers feature findings that document and examine social inequalities in mental health from the individual to societal level. Drawing on research with communities, schools, health services, and neighbourhoods, the presenters illustrate how different systems of oppression such as racism and sexism produce unique challenges for people living at the intersections of multiple social identities and positions. The presentations are followed by an open discussion on the opportunities and challenges in future.
Speakers and contributors: Darío Moreno-Agostino, Dörte Bemme, Gemma Knowles, Daniel Stanyon, Rachel Latham, River Újhadbor, Thai-Sha Richards
