Critical issues in society today involve long time horizons and multiple generations of people. A central challenge in intergenerational decisions is that the interests of present and future generations are not always aligned. The goals and focus of research on intergenerational decisions has been to (1) identify the key features of intergenerational decisions and use those insights to develop experiments that emulate those features, (2) identify the central barriers to intergenerational beneficence, and importantly, (3) identify variables that lead people to act on the behalf of future generations, void of any material or economic incentive to do so. Critically, intergenerational contexts are characterized by the intersection of intertemporal and interpersonal dimensions, which enables the enactment of legacy motivations-a key underlying force in overcoming the many barriers to intergenerational beneficence.

Systematic review of health and social outcomes among Indigenous People exposed to the child welfare system: a protocol.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Sociology and Social Anthropology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Introduction: The link between parent-child separation through child welfare systems and negative health and social outcomes is well documented. In contrast, despite the over-representation of Indigenous children and youth in child welfare systems, the relationship between child welfare system involvement and health and social outcomes among Indigenous populations has not been systematically reviewed. Our objective is to assess whether Indigenous People who have been exposed to a child welfare system personally or intergenerationally (ie, parents and/or grandparents) within Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA (CANZUS countries) and the circumpolar region are at an increased risk for negative health and social outcomes compared with other exposed and non-exposed groups.

Division of Analytical and Environmental Toxicology, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta Canada, T6G 2G3.
Implementation of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Respect (DEIR) is crucial for supporting students in a culturally safe environment, reducing bias, fostering respect, broadening perspectives, enhancing collaboration, and improving education in science. DEIR with Indigenous reconciliation incorporates Indigenous-based DEIR initiatives as a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in Canada to acknowledge the intergenerational trauma and mistrust toward colonial institutions such as universities. Universities can advance reconciliation by incorporating DEIR with Indigenous reconciliation into everyday practices.
