Sambuddha Banerjee, PhD
Teaching Assistant Professor, Department of ChemistryAs a queer, brown, immigrant who is involved in STEM education and research, Banerjee is invested in developing research programs that can support LGBTQIATS* + students of color. Banerjee is also invested in decentering from the Eurocentric production-based mode of education, and creating more equitable learning environment where the participants are provided a space to make mistakes, learn from them, and create a better understanding of the topic at hand. Lastly, Banerjee envisions a more compassionate academy, where equity and diversity are spontaneous and holds students to high standards but also makes flexibility so that they can thrive towards it.
