Kanembe Shanachilubwa studies the experiences of engineering graduate students, focusing on how they cope with stress, persist or leave their programs, and are socialized into academic and research careers. Much of this work examines programs like the McNair Scholars Program that support underrepresented students transitioning into doctoral study, as well as broader questions about well-being, disenchantment, and identity in graduate education. The research relies on qualitative and narrative methods to understand students' personal accounts of graduate school.
