We are excited to share Anam Khan's recent accomplishment! Anam, a Research Project Manager at the Resilience Research Centre and a PhD candidate in Health at Dalhousie University's School of Social Work presented a snapshot of her PhD thesis at the International Society for the Study of Self-Injury conference in Toronto on June 28. Her thesis aims to develop a sociological understanding of resilience to self-harm across cultures by examining Canada and India. With 5 years of research experience in both countries, Anam is proficient in quantitative and qualitative methods, including arts-based approaches. At the conference, Anam discussed how arts-informed methods can be utilized to study resilience among young adults with a history of self-injury. It was an incredible platform to connect with fellow researchers and professionals dedicated to understanding and addressing self-injury. Anam is grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this vital field and looks forward to continuing her important work. #ISSS2024 #ResilienceResearch #ArtsInformedMethods #MentalHealth
