Haggar’s research integrates psychology, neuroscience, and policy analysis to address mental health disparities across vulnerable populations—including emergency responders and asylum seekers—with emphasis on women’s health equity and family resilience. Her methodological expertise spans qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys, evidence syntheses, and creative ethnographic approaches, consistently prioritizing stakeholder engagement through Policy Lab workshops.
Recent publications reveal escalating focus on ageing societies, mental health implications of systemic policy design (e.g., asylum systems), and socio-economic determinants like the cost-of-living crisis. These works demonstrate interdisciplinary convergence of public health, social justice, and cultural studies, driving frameworks for age-inclusive societies and equitable healthcare access.
Key recognition includes:
- UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship for The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth (SAACY) project
Haggar has secured competitive funding from NIHR, UKRI, ESRC, The Wellcome Trust, The Royal Foundation, Unbound, Tommy’s, and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
