Mental Health among PhD Students in STEM
Greetings!
We are a group of researchers at the University of Massachusetts
Boston interested in understanding the status of mental health among doctoral students in STEM.
Mental
health and wellbeing are key factors influencing doctoral student success. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing violence against Black, Asian, Indigenous, and Latinx communities have increased and compounded student stress. So, we are currently seeking
participants for a 35-minute research study designed to understand the influential factors that affect mental health among doctoral students in STEM.
Participants
who meet the following criteria are invited to take part in this research:
●
Current doctoral student
●
Enrolled in a STEM discipline
●
18 years or older
We encourage students who hold minoritized identities
to participate in this study.
If you are interested in participating in this 35-minute
survey, please click the link below.

This study has been approved by the University of Massachusetts Boston Institutional Review Board (protocol
#2021037). If you have any questions about the research study, please feel free to email us at

April Social Justice
Seminar Series
Social
Justice and Nurses Caring for Patients During COVID-19
Conversations surrounding the crisis in nursing amid the COVID-19 pandemic situate the nurse as a social actor who needs to build and maintain resiliency. I temper this expectation as unjust and unrealistic given the avoidable nurse specific traumas they are
continuously exposed to. A broader context that begins to entertain the concept of social justice
for nurses as opposed to social justice by nurses will be described. The nurse, as bound physically and psychologically by space and time, as well as organizational culpability will be discussed.
Speakers: Dr. Karen Foli
