"Psychology cannot claim to protect children if it is only willing to do so selectively. [...] Palestinian children are not collateral. They are not too complex or too controversial to grieve. They are children, entitled to safety, dignity, and care."

Our recent work on causal beliefs about social determinants of health (SDOH) now out in Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy! we look at perceptions of the widest range of SDOH to date. TLDR: people appreciate the role of SDOH but politics matters spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Struggling with the silence | BPS The Leicester Chapter of the Psychologists for Social Change meet unfolding horrors with 'anger brewing'…

V proud of the local Leicester Psych for Social Change for consistently and unequivocally speaking out about the outrage of the Gaza genocide and standing in solidarity with student protestors. Kudos to @psychmag.bsky.social and Aspa Paltoglou for breaking the silence www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

It's a good reminder to post PSC Leicester's statement of solidarity with students arrested for protesting these atrocities. No other UK institution is prosecuting student protestors. Link to the crowdfunder for legal costs towards the end of the statement: www.psychchange.org/leicester.html

"By not including what is happening to Palestinians in our studies, in our teaching, in our writing, in our magazines, we become complicit in a genocide and we lose faith in ourselves and others." Incredibly powerful piece by Dr Aspa Paltoglou that is a must-read for psychologists

i had a lot of fun making this video on our stressful politics work led by @lbernardi.bsky.social and UCL colleagues last month. (this partially explains why i'm grinning inappropriately throughout what is actually a serious and very important topic)

@eikofried.bsky.social being as kind and supportive as ever about our collab work on perceptions of social determinants months before i got my act together on bluesky. preprint accessible here: osf.io/preprints/ps...
