Using AsianCrit Theory to Understand How Anti-Asian Hate Impacted Mental Health Among Asian Women in STEM Doctoral Programs

Abstract

Steeped in the AsianCrit theoretical framework, the current study examined how anti-Asian hate impacted the mental health of Asian and diasporic Asian doctoral women in STEM. Findings highlight the need for faculty to challenge institutional norms that perpetuate the erasure of the toll that anti-Asian hate levied on Asian doctoral women in STEM.
