About this seminar
In this talk you will gain an understanding of what currently constitutes ‘Indigenous Data’ and how it may be different to other forms of data as well as the important concepts of Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Indigenous Data Governance with a focus on their relevance and application in research.
Indigenous Data Sovereignty emphasises the rights of Indigenous peoples and communities to control and manage their data while Indigenous Data Governance ensures best practice for ethical and respectful use and management of Indigenous Data.
