Over two days, scholars from Taiwan, Brazil, Canada, and India came together for engaging discussions, thoughtful feedback, and meaningful collaborative exchange.

Chaired by Prof. Lara Greaves, Chair of RC53, the sessions provided a supportive platform for researchers to present work in progress, receive constructive feedback, and engage in comparative conversations on Indigenous politics across diverse regional and disciplinary contexts.
