लेखक: Benjamin Gray

Dr Benjamin Gray has conducted extensive research in health, social care and education, with a particular focus on social exclusion, stigma and inequalities in mental health. Ben has also been involved in research with children, mothers and their families in Tower Hamlets, East London, which has a high population of Bangladeshis, Somalis and refugees and which is recognised as one of the most deprived areas in the United Kingdom. He has conducted research on emotions in organisations, particularly in nursing and social work; work for the RCN (Royal College of Nursing); stakeholder views on multiple sclerosis; carers for people with mental health problems, especially young carers; and most recently worked as a Senior Research Fellow at Canterbury Christ Church University on a national project that studied the values of students in Higher Education, including student volunteering in health and social care, which led to a guest editorship of the Journal of Academic Ethics. He has written many papers on these subjects and presented research findings at high profile conferences.
