Direct linkAbraham, Anna E.; Busch, Carly A.; Brownell, Sara E.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Mental health conditions can impact college students' academic achievements and experiences. As such, students may choose to disclose mental illnesses on medical school applications. Yet, no recent studies have investigated to what extent disclosure of a mental health condition may impact whether an applicant is accepted to medical school. We…

Busch, Carly A.; Mohammed, Tasneem F.; Nadile, Erika M.; Witt, Madison L.; Vargas, Cindy; Tran, Missy; Wolf, Joseph Gazing; Brister, Danielle; Cooper, Katelyn M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Depression is one of the leading mental health concerns among science undergraduates, and rates of student depression increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Revealing one's depression in an academic science environment can be helpful, because it can result in increased support from others. However, depression is considered a concealable…

Wiesenthal, Nicholas J.; Gin, Logan E.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Depression is one of the top mental health concerns among biology graduate students and has contributed to the "graduate student mental health crisis" declared in 2018. Several prominent science outlets have called for interventions to improve graduate student mental health, yet it is unclear to what extent graduate students…

Busch, Carly A.; Supriya, K.; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Sharing personal information can help instructors build relationships with students, and instructors revealing concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) may be particularly impactful. One CSI is the LGBTQ+ identity, but there has been no research on the student-perceived impact of an instructor revealing this identity. In this exploratory study…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Gin, Logan E.; Brownell, Sara E. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) are identities that can be kept hidden or invisible and that carry negative stereotypes. Depression is one of the most common CSIs among undergraduates. However, to our knowledge, no studies have explored how students manage depression as a CSI in the context of undergraduate research, a…

Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and otherwise nonstraight and/or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) have often not felt welcome or represented in the biology community. Additionally, biology can present unique challenges for LGBTQ+ students because of the relationship between certain biology topics and their LGBTQ+…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
As we transition our undergraduate biology classrooms from traditional lectures to active learning, the dynamics among students become more important. These dynamics can be influenced by student social identities. One social identity that has been unexamined in the context of undergraduate biology is the spectrum of lesbian, gay, bisexual,…
