❓Do you work in the Global North as a researcher from the Global South?
👉 We want to hear your story!

🟢 We are running a new study focusing on how cultural background influences academics' mental health and help-seeking behaviors, particularly after relocating across continents to conduct research. Too often, institutional support systems fail to reflect our lived realities. So we are asking: What actually helps? What does not? What needs to change?

😊 You can help us by responding to a short survey: 10 to 15 minutes, 22 quick questions, and complete anonymity

🌟 Your voice can drive real change. By sharing your experiences, you can help identify gaps and develop suggestions for more inclusive, culturally sensitive support systems in academia.

➡️ Take the survey and help spread the word!

❓Whose voice is in your head? ✨
For many South Asian women, success often comes with a side of self-doubt. That voice telling us we’re not good enough? That’s imposter syndrome - and it’s time we call it out. 👈

➡️This carousel is a journey to RECOGNIZE the doubts, REFRAME the narrative, and RECLAIM your confidence. It’s not about silencing the inner critic- it’s about rewriting the script:
✨ “I’ve earned my place.”
✨ “My achievements are not accidents.”
✨ “I belong here.”

👉 Let’s stop shrinking and start owning our space - because we deserve to be here.

🗣️ Join the conversation: Your story can break the cycle. Help shape better support systems for South Asian women by sharing your experiences in our short survey.
