Isolation and connectedness among Black and Latinx physics graduate students

Racial or ethnic isolation may negatively impact physics graduate students’ academic and professional experience. An interview study with 16 doctoral students who were considered to be particularly at risk of such isolation found that (i) the students interviewed are mostly not the only member of th...
