Welcome to ICSIH7

We are delighted to welcome you to the 7th International Conference on Social Identity and Health, returning to its roots at the University of Exeter. The seed that was planted here more than 10 years ago has grown into a vibrant global community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers exploring the profound ways in which social identity shapes health and wellbeing.

This year’s conference marks a special milestone: a celebration of ICSIH’s return to where it all began. As we gather once again in the heart of Devon, we invite you to reflect on the progress made, the collaborations forged, and the challenges ahead in applying social identity theory to real-world health contexts.

Join us for three days of cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary dialogue, and community-building in a city known for its academic excellence and natural beauty. Whether you're presenting new findings, engaging in workshops, or reconnecting with colleagues, ICSIH7 promises to be a landmark event in the evolution of social identity and health research.

We look forward to welcoming you back to where it all began.

Joanne Smith & Mark Tarrant
