01: STEM, Cultural Pressure, and the Stigma of Mental Illness with Sanna Rehman

  • サマリー

  • In the first episode of Little Science Talks Season 1, Heidi Gardner and her co-host Anna Kebke are joined by Sanna Rehman. Sanna is a Trainee Clinical Associate in Applied Psychology, and she joins us to explore if and how her South Asian background and cultural experiences played a role in her decision to study a STEM subject. She explains how her passion for breaking down the barriers that women and girls from South Asian backgrounds stems from her own experiences of struggling to meet expectations, pressures and demands throughout her childhood. Sanna has worked hard to fight against these stereotypes to pursue her own goals, and in this episode she shares her experiences of studying psychology, and why being one brown face in a sea of not so brown faces that work in mental health is something seemingly small that can contribute to chipping away at stigma around mental illness.
