Our research mission aims to better understand how South Asian women's careers in STEMM are impacted.
​
Literature shows that the number of South Asian women in STEMM fields is much lower than those of men (1). South Asian women also face intergenerational and cultural conflict, academic pressures, relationship stress, financial stress and family difficulties, leading to them being disproportionately affected by mental health issues (2). Within this mission, our team is working towards understanding barriers, attitudes, and resolutions for South Asian women in STEMM fields.
Testimonials
"My experience doing research with Lotus STEMM has been an incredible experience. Dr Chaudhary has created a welcome learning environment where we as research students can take risks and explore ideas that build on our own strengths and passions. I have been given the opportunity to tackle big issues that I never would have expected to be able to explore in my undergraduate career. I have benefitted so much from working with peers who have elevated my ideas and made my exploration of the research process a collaborative and community-driven endeavour. My research with Lotus STEMM allows me to give back to the communities important to me and grow from the support Lotus STEMM has provided."
