Aline Pouille is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ghent University's Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Department of Special Needs Education. She is also affiliated with the Centre for the Social Study of Migration and Refugees. Her work focuses on the intersections of recovery, addiction, and interactions with the justice system, with special attention to minority groups and vulnerable populations.
Dr. Pouille earned her Master's degree in Educational Sciences from Ghent University in 2017, followed by teacher training. She completed her PhD in Educational Sciences in 2023 with a dissertation titled 'Recovery from problem substance among persons with a migration background and ethnic minorities: an analysis of lived experiences.'
Her research centers on recovery from substance use among persons with migration backgrounds and ethnic minorities, examining recovery capital, multiple stigma, and culturally sensitive care. She employs primarily participatory and qualitative research methods to explore the complex intersections of migration, substance use, mental health, and the justice system. Her work has significant implications for policy development and service provision for vulnerable populations.
Dr. Pouille's publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on substance use recovery among migrants and ethnic minorities, with increasing attention to forensic mental health and prison settings in her more recent work. Her research spans multiple European countries and addresses both theoretical frameworks and practical interventions for culturally sensitive care.
Dr. Pouille has received research funding from multiple sources including:
- Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) for the REC-MIB project
- European Commission funding for the SEMID-EU project
- Funding from FPS Public Health and FPS Justice for penitentiary healthcare reform
She collaborates extensively with researchers at Ghent University and across European institutions, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary connections between psychology, social work, migration studies, and public health policy.
