Adam H G Chen

Hi! I am a first year PhD student at the Institute for Mental Health at The University of Birmingham working in collaboration with The University of Nottingham, supervised by Dr Maria Michail, Dr Nicola Wright and Dr Isabel Morales-Muñoz. My research looks at the broader social, political, economic and environmental factors that influence youth suicide in England.

I'm also the lead of SRN Midlands, a network for PhD students in the Midlands researching sensitive or emotionally demanding research in the social sciences. We aim to meet regularly to discuss the intersecting methodological and ethical issues we face, support each other, share information and knowledge, and create a welcoming space in a peer-led informal setting.

I am funded by the Midlands Graduate School ESRC DTP working on a strategic joint studentship. I have a M.A in Social Research and a B.A. (Hons) in Sociology from The University of Sheffield.

I'm a first-generation scholar and value building supportive and inclusive research communitites. You can find me on Bluesky Outside of work, I'm an avid climber and hiker, feel free to check out some of my photos here: climbing.ahgchen.uk.
