The mini-conference has two important objectives. Substantively, we aim to amass experts from various disciplines to discuss the current state of the field, by reviewing relevant theoretical perspectives, data and methods commonly used to study migration and mental health, and to showcase research presentations highlighting the structural factors driving mental health inequities. Yet, another important goal of the mini-conference is to expose students and faculty to the importance of mentorship/sponsorship, collaborations, and the critical role that research can play in building community in the process of generating new knowledge. In this regard, we are asking panelists to reflect on their own academic journeys and to think critically into how their mentors, peer mentors, as well as, their mentees have contributed  in their academic journeys, especially in shaping their research and academic careers.
