Mansi Brat is an academic dedicated to promoting social justice and anti-racist action. Her current research lines include mindfulness-based programs, anti-racist scholarship, counselor professional identity and advocacy, postmodernist theories, and contemplative sciences. She is particularly interested in examining how mindfulness-based programs support social justice activism in counseling practitioners, supervisors, and trainees. Mansi is also focused on developing a line of scholarship on children and youth raised in marginalized families and their lack of access to mental health care and social integration skills. Her teaching and mentorship focus on encouraging students to connect and apply their knowledge to their lived experiences, promoting social justice among historically disenfranchised groups. She intentionally creates coursework that contextualizes how the information students are learning is applicable to their daily lives and how an understanding of multiculturalism is crucial for providing social justice-informed mental health services.
