On Day Two of the Global Station for Indigenous Studies and Cultural Diversity’s (GSI) Kick- Off Symposium (22 January 2022), the Human Ecology and Global Health Research Unit (HEGHRU) held an online seminar comprising members of the research unit and interested members of GSI. The seminar aimed to introduce the varying works and research interests of unit members and explore possible collaborations between them and towards GSI’s goals. The opening remarks shared by Prof. Taro Yamauchi (Faculty of Health Sciences, Hokkaido University, Japan), introduced the two main disciplines within the Unit: Global Health and Resource Management, citing the interdisciplinary core and nature of the unit. As an introductory seminar towards considering the unit’s contributions to GSI for its initial four years of operation, Prof. Yamauchi requested that focus be placed on not only defining the multi-disciplinary identity within the unit, but also the inter-disciplinary identity within GSI and finally, a transdisciplinary identity within society. For this purpose, the seminar was scheduled to have each of the nine unit members give a short presentation outlining their research works, interests and areas of likely contribution and collaboration followed by a time for discussion. The contents of the member presentations, brief discussion and overall conclusions have been summarized in this report.
