We are exploring how AI can be used to assist migrants in language barriers and adapting to new linguistic environments. It also examines AI’s emerging role in supporting the mental health of migrants, offering tools for emotional well-being and integration into new communities.

Queer migrants often face unique challenges in finding belonging, yet their experiences are rarely centered in research or public discussion. Led by Dr. Roya Haghiri-Vijeh (York University), we explore how queer migrant students understand and negotiate identity and belonging in Canada. Using a mixed-method approach that combines participatory photo-voice with a cross-national survey, the study connects personal stories with broader social patterns. We hope to amplify community voices and aim to inform more inclusive policies, services, and public conversations.
