Valuable conference on childhood trauma in diverse communities in Leeds today #UKPTS2025 ... I have learnt so much: Wow! moments from @LeedsSolace, @AttuneProject, @andrea_danese, @Siobhan_HJ, @ReTHINK and @EASprecher to name a few. More over on BlueSky...
Good morning everyone!
#UKPTS2025 is finally here. Let us know if you are joining us @nexusunileeds or if you're following along here with our selected highlights throughout the day.
The inaugural lecture of someone you really like is a pleasure; I'm rather in awe of Professor Pam Alldred's lifetime of achievements and authenticity (including the stripey tights). "A good girl never goes anywhere without her politics" - Yass! Congrats! @AllPam @ntu_research
Reading this social psychology take on the weekend's events helped me... I was heartened to see the quick off the mark anti-fascist response. Sheffield in particular. @ProfJohnDrury 's blog explains why that response matters so much.
'The August 2024 riots: Empowerment of the xenophobes'
New blogpost with brief social psych perspective on the week's awful events. Please share.

Yesterday I graduated my PhD.
Wonderfully, it was in NTU's new gender neutral hood (no longer made to attach to shirt buttons/tie), designed by an NTU student of fashion: Georgia Stevenson, and using recycled plastic too.

And here are some of the cheerleaders who got me to this point: @Blerina_Kellezi @ARC_EM @ntu_research @ROWTATE_Study @PsychologyNTU @E_Rowley @Rehab_Research @jade_kettlewell @MikeRennoldson Thank you so much for everything you have done for me.
My first conf. presentation as 'Dr' @ICSIH6, with so much gratitude to my encouragers: @ARC_EM and @ntu_research for funding me; @Rowtate and @E_Rowley for investing in the research question and @Blerina_Kellezi for her mentoring and supervision superpowers, + all named on slide
@gihntu member @Kay_Bridger talking about her recently-completed PhD research on appraisals following traumatic injury #icsih6
Perfectly timed with the #CRSV international day to end conflict associated sexual violence, @Blerina_Kellezi 's #icsih6 talk summarised a holistic approach to justice developed from many years of research with the most vulnerable trauma populations. @gihntu @ntu_research
Up next today at #ICSIH6, @Blerina_Kellezi highlights the important role of holistic justice when it comes to understanding responses to, and impacts of, Mass Human Rights Violations @psychologyNTU
My lovely @gihntu colleague @DarelCookson provided great conspiracy theory food-for-thought today at #icsih6. Fascinated to hear of an association between conspiracy beliefs and Family identity... relateable!
Already loving @ICSIH6 : I'm in joyful student mode again, learning about applying biometric measures of allostatic load in social identity research. Thank you @EadaoinWhelan3 @grace_mc7 for content and @PsychologyNTU for sending me.
Being a trauma psychologist today meant taking a "break" from marking to attend a brilliant lecture on wartime (WWII) sexual slavery or "comfort women" by Dr Sachiyo Tsukamoto. Thank you @ntu_research ...the colleague conversations after made my week.
What a wonderful idea! I 💜 this collaboration. With cost of living, getting workplace-ready is even more challenging for our students than it ever was. This is a triple-winner: sustainability; employability; fairness to students from less affluent backgrounds.
It was fantastic to launch the Professional Student Wardrobe, in partnership with @WhiteRoseShop, at our City Campus this week 👗👔
It provides NTU students and graduates with free, professional clothing for career related activities 👏

How do I feel? Too big to process today. First family PhD: every step was new territory. But I didn’t do it alone, thanks to @Blerina_Kellezi @MikeRennoldson @Rehab_Research Danai Serfioti @ROWTATE_Study @ARC_EM @gihntu @PsychologyNTU 🙏🏽
#physiotherapists, #OTs, #nurses, #pharmacists responses needed to contribute to rehabilitation research, please 🙏🏽
🚨Help needed! 🚨
We have had very poor response rate to this survey so far. It can be completed by ANY #OTs #physiotherapists #nurses #pharmacists - we want to know your thoughts about fit note certification being part of your professional role.

"Blood in the blackbird's field. A story of war, justice and resilience. " @DokuFest 2023. Developed by @Blerina_Kellezi & colleagues based on survivors' testimonies from the Krusha e Madhe massacre of March 1999 in Kosova. Remembrance & sharing matters!

Please retweet for wider participation! This research is timely and vital and every little helps 🙏🥰
Absolutely loving the latest childhood trauma research out of @ULPsych @DaraghBr on long-term heart reactivity changes and @AnnaMLashkay making links between stigma, disidentification and dissociation. I am so *here* for this @easp2023krk
