Upcoming and Past Talks

Dr Ryan Chua speaks about resilience of indigenous communites in Malaysia. Moderated by Ling Ling and hosted by the International Council of Psychologists (ICP)

Using thematic analysis, I examine similarities and contextual differences in the adaptation experiences of asylum-seekers and refugees across three countries.

This aim of the panel was to increase knowledge about how refugees adapt in different contexts. The panel also discussed how to work with women refugees.

This systematic review included 199 studies that involved participants from 24 origin countries, now residing in 35 countries.

This roundtable discussion emerged from the ICP Psychology of Democracy Reading Group, focuses on power dynamics in modern societies and how they affect migrant populations.

Current research examined the psychological factors associated with refugee adaptation, focusing on Zomi refugees in Malaysia, an ethnic minority who fled Myanmar due to protracted conflict.

In addition to the usual migration challenges, refugees face discrimination that negatively affects participation in host societies, reduces the likelihood of integration, and affects their well-being.

Emerging from discussions held in the ICP’s Psychology of Democracy Reading Group, this roundtable focused on potential threats to democracy and how we might mitigate them.

Zomi, an ethnic group from Myanmar, fled to Malaysia due to internal conflict. Research has shown Zomi are uniquely resilient in the face of hardship. Can we learn from them?

Research related to the psychological adaptation of Ahmadiyya refugees in Malaysia was presented to the community.
