Dr Maria Teresa Ferazzoli has been a research associate at the University of Sheffield since 2018 and she completed her PhD at the University in 2019. She is now working as a project officer at IMPACT (Improving Adult Care Together). Maria Teresa’s research interests include the provision of mental health support in different countries and unequal access to health and social care services.
Maria Teresa is an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in sociology and psychology. Before starting her academic career, she worked for more than 10 years as a practitioner in mental health care services in Italy, and as a Project Coordinator for a local branch of the mental health charity, Mind. As a research associate, Maria Teresa has worked on research projects that explore particularly sensitive subjects, including the role of faith-based organisations in anti-trafficking, and parent’s experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth and unexplained neonatal death. She is also experienced in the use of participatory and creative research methodologies with underrepresented groups.
She is committed to conducting research that has the potential to make a real difference to people, and in these roles she has become skilled at extending research engagement to health professionals, charities and members of the public. In her previous research project on ‘Everyday Bordering in the UK’ led by Dr Julie Walsh, she co-developed an online training resource for practitioners working with migrant communities.
