What's the episode about?

 In this episode, hear Nina Vaswani on young men and grief during in imprisonment, childhood bereavement, masculinities and grief, trauma informed practice, comics for education and research, disenfranchised grief, grieving a death you have caused, and public health responses to grief

 Who is Nina?

 Nina is Senior Research Fellow at the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice, University of Strathclyde.  Her key research interests are the experience and impact of loss, bereavement and trauma in young people and how these experiences interface and shape contact with the justicesystem.  Of particular interest is the overrepresentation of young men in justice-settings, and how their exposure to loss, bereavement and trauma might shape their developing masculinities identities, behaviours and outcomes. As a result, she is also interested in institutional and organisational responses to trauma, and the realities of trauma-informed approaches in practice.  Nina was also the PI on Men Minds, a coproduced research project exploring masculinities and mental health with marginalised young men.
