Nina Vaswani

Dr Nina Vaswani is Senior Research Fellow at the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice, University of Strathclyde. Nina is the Principal Investigator on the Men Minds Project, providing overall project management and leading on the young men in conflict with the law strand of the work. Nina’s research interests include the experience and impact of loss, bereavement and trauma in young people and how these experiences interface and shape contact with the justice system. Of particular interest is the overrepresentation of young men in justice-settings, and how their exposure to loss, bereavement and trauma might shape their developing masculinities, identities, behaviours and outcomes. She is also interested in institutional and organisational responses to trauma, and the realities of trauma-informed approaches in practice.
