Global Dialogues: Indigenous Data SovereigntyFriday, February 23, 2024, 12:00 PM
Virtual
Indigenous Data Sovereignty, the right of Indigenous peoples to govern the collection, ownership, and application of data about Indigenous communities, peoples, lands, and resources, has emerged in the past decade as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it gives scope for development opportunities that reflect Indigenous aspirations; on the other, it cannot easily be disentangled from considerable baggage linked to colonialism and its discrepant experience and knowledge. Join Stanford Global Studies for a webinar that will consider case studies from different parts of the world, highlighting best practices and mapping out productive approaches.
