Meet two more members of the Global-MINDS 2026โ€“2028 cohort! ๐ŸŒ
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Renata Schindler joins Path C, travelling from Poland to Ireland. Her interests include belonging, migration and mental health, cross-cultural business psychology, and intercultural competence training.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡น Caleb Lowhar-Reviero joins Path A, travelling from Portugal to Ireland. He is particularly interested in belongingness, relatedness, and personality.

Weโ€™re excited to see the perspectives, experiences, and ideas they will bring to the Global-MINDS community. Welcome, Renata and Caleb! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š

A warm welcome to Warsaw! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐ŸŒ

Our Programme Promotion Officer and Global-MINDS alumnus, Ivan Lopez, had the pleasure of meeting members of the new 2026โ€“2028 cohort as they begin their Global-MINDS journey.

It was wonderful to connect in person, share experiences and welcome the students to the Global-MINDS community. We wish the new cohort every success as they begin their classes and this exciting academic and personal journey across Europe.

Welcome to Global-MINDSโ€”we are delighted to have you with us! ๐Ÿ’™

Three more of our incoming Global-MINDS Cohort 2026โ€“2028!

Joining us this fall:

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ Gissell Yanza Martรญnez (Path A) โ€” Ecuador, Cuenca
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Taylor Mache (Path B) โ€” United States
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Lasse Lindow (Path A) โ€” Germany

Swipe through to read what brought each of them here, in their own words. Gissell wants to co-create knowledge across cultures and move research out of academia and into the communities it's meant to serve. Taylor is drawn to the interdependence of communities and how systemic change actually gets activated. Lasse grew up in a fairly homogeneous environment and credits the classmates who opened it up โ€” now he wants to work where psychology meets politics.

From Cuenca to USA to Germany, all three arrive asking how people can be brought closer together rather than further apart.

Welcome to the programme. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’™

Graduate Research Spotlight

What does belonging mean when migration, exclusion and identity intersect?

Global-MINDS graduate Eisha Mehtabโ€™s research, published in Womenโ€™s Health, explores the lived experiences of Pakistani migrant women in Norway.

The study examines how structural exclusion, gendered expectations and cultural nostalgia shape stress, belonging, identity and agency. It also highlights the importance of fairer permit processes, recognition of qualifications and culturally responsive support.

Congratulations to Eisha Mehtab, Gulnaz Anjum, Halina Grzymaล‚a-Moszczyล„ska and Mudassar Aziz.

Meet more of our incoming Global-MINDS Cohort 2026โ€“2028!

This round we're introducing three new students joining us this fall:

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Chanceline Ebel (Path A) โ€” Indonesia
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Eftelya ร‡elikel (Path A) โ€” Tรผrkiye
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท Despina (Path A) โ€” Greece

Swipe through to read what brought each of them to Global-MINDS, in their own words. Chanceline started from her own questions about beauty standards, representation and why some people feel they belong while others don't. Eftelya met Global-MINDS students during her bachelor's and wanted in on the community she saw forming. Despina came looking for a place to challenge her own perspectives and learn how to support people who are often left unheard.

Three routes to the same instinct: that understanding each other takes real work โ€” and is worth doing.

Welcome, all three of you. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’™

Five more of our incoming Global-MINDS Cohort 2026โ€“2028!

This round we're introducing five new students joining us this fall:

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Camila Hess-Neustadt (Path A) โ€” USA
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Claudia Sherman (Path A) โ€” United States of America
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Suhana Kassam (Path A) โ€” Tanzania and India
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Asal Saeidi Nik (Path B) โ€” Iran
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น Raf (Path B) โ€” Portugal

Swipe through to read what brought each of them to Global-MINDS, in their own words. From tracing how discriminatory beliefs take hold, to bridging research with advocacy for women's empowerment, to bringing perspectives on intergroup conflict that social psychology rarely hears โ€” these five arrive with questions rooted in what they've lived and studied. Different starting points, one shared instinct: that understanding each other is work worth doing carefully.

Welcome, all five of you โ€” we can't wait to see where this journey takes you. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Comfort Oluwaseyitan Daniel (Path C) โ€” Nigeria

Swipe through to read what brought each of them to Global-MINDS, in their own words. From bridging psychology and social justice, to studying structural vulnerability across borders, to designing more inclusive mental health systems โ€” this cohort keeps proving how many different paths lead to the same question: how do we understand each other better?

Welcome, all five of you โ€” we can't wait to see where this journey takes you. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’™
