Hári Sewell reviews two 2025 research papers by Nkasi Stoll and colleagues in a Mental Elf blog:
“Academics and researchers have long been interested in the nature and impact of racism in higher education, and in particular, how it affects the mental health of those involved. While key metrics on affected individuals’ academic outcomes are frequently scrutinised (i.e., such as racialised awarding gaps and attrition rates from courses) and their consequential impacts on mental ill health are studied, there is a lack of focus on the lived experiences that underpin these statistics.” Available here.
