About the Event

The University of Queensland (UQ) is celebrating the outstanding achievements of UQ researchers and partnerships from 30 September to 4 October, 2024. Research infrastructure projects from our HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons are being featured in 2 events during the week.

Indigenous Data Governance: A discussion

  • When: 30 September 2024 4:00pm–6:00pm
  • Where: Anthropology Museum, Michie Building, St Lucia campus

UQ is committed to growing the opportunities for Indigenous people to lead and conduct their own research. One important strand in developing this innovative research culture is ensuring that appropriate governance is in place for Indigenous data. This event will present a panel of Indigenous researchers, data custodians and data stewards discussing current developments in this field including:

– The importance of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property concerns
– Governance of Indigenous Data Framework for the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons
– Tools and methods for data governance

The panel will include Dr Rose Barrowcliffe (Macquarie University and the Language Data Commons of Australia), Robert McLellan (The University of Queensland and the Language Data Commons of Australia) and Lesley Acres (The University of Queensland Library), and the discussion will be facilitated by Grant Sarra.

Drinks will be served after the (formal) discussion.
