Education, 2023Intersectionality Between Race and Gender in LSAMP-NSF STEM Program MentorshipAbstractRace and gender disparities exist in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)fields, where their intersectionality promotes the greatest achievement gap. Minority students andfaculty are less represented in these fields. In engineering, especially, a hostile climate develops ifyou are a person with disabilities and/or non-cisgender and/or non-White man; and it is highlylikely that you will be part of a minority in the field. This can lead to stress, anxiety, and feelingsof isolation and hopelessness in a person’s academic and career pursuits. We researched if raceand gender affect the relationship

Conversation?IntroductionOver the course of the past decade, the academic community has increasingly recognized themental health challenges faced by graduate students as a pivotal area of concern (Evans, et al.,2018; Nature, 2019). This recognition is in response to findings that suggest graduate students,especially those in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines, are at ahigher risk for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress (Bork & Mondisa, 2022;Diezel, et al., 2013; Nagy, et al., (2019) Saravanan & Wilks, 2014). Findings from Bork andMondisa's (2022) recent scoping literature review attribute this heightened risk, in part, to theunique pressures and stressors inherent to the academic and research
