This CASE SIG sponsored session will provide an opportunity for Early Career Researchers, Graduate students and more established academics to share their experiences of mentoring and strategic professional development. In particular, we target researchers who work with populations in the Caribbean and/or African diaspora. The session aims to:
• provide guidance on the strategic planning of academic careers responsive to the needs of education and the expectations of the 21st Century university;
