2️⃣ Contesting borders—critically & kindly.
One moment: a delegate challenged my use of “sounding American.” She said, “You mean from the USA?” 🌎
A powerful reminder that language reflects power, and ISCHP gave space to unpack this together.

1️⃣ How far we’ve come—and how far we need to go.
I was in awe of the critical work on abortion, Indigenous rights, LGBTQIA+ health, & more. Psychology was used to liberate—not just observe.
But we must still do better at centering lived experiences.

Attending my first ever @ischp.bsky.social conference #ISCHP2025 @uniofgalway.bsky.social was unforgettable.
It was an academic, emotional, and personal experience that made me reflect deeply on psychology, justice, and community.

Excellent talk from Lauren Munro on microaggressions & the circulation of fat hatred...

Concluding slide from talk on Oluwatoyin Bewaji's work on discourses around black women, authenticity, curvy ideals & body work on YouTube at #ISCHP2025: - Discursive duality simultaneously represents the Black curvy body both a source of natural, authentic identity and a demanding expectation requiring significant 'work'. - Urgent need for academic attention to shift away from Eurocentric beauty ideals and toward an intersectional understanding that prioritises health & acknowledges the complex interplay of race, gender, and historical oppression. - Critical importance of recognising the potential health consequences associated with bodywork and reshaping even when framed as "natural" or empowering.

Where does power lie in the data sharing "debate"?
Lots of polarisation: How do we find a compromised place?

"Hey, these feminists need to talk to each other" - great talk by Sarah Riley. Method/analysis really reinforced the different areas of focus/emphasis of different feminists (diversity/problem of women, problem of regulation)

Still processing Jaq Ball's talk on how trauma-informed care devolved from a lived experience-conceived social justice movement into a poorly understood yet “implemented” psy-practice ... superb, content & delivery
