Research Week: Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Community Engagement

STREAM series event

This workshop is a collaboration between the Okanagan Nation Alliance, UBC Okanagan Library, Faculty of Health and Social Development and OVPRI. Aimed at Indigenous data sovereignty in the context of supporting and informing research, the primary goal of the panel-style event will be to encourage necessary conversations within health, science and wellbeing-related research and anti-Indigenous racism.

Participants will have the opportunity to listen to Indigenous panellists who are experts in supporting ethical and respectful research by, with and for Indigenous people and/or researchers who practice Indigenous data sovereignty. The workshop will foster a space of reflection regarding research proposals, ethics applications by/with/for Indigenous peoples ensuring protection of Indigenous peoples and communities from harmful research including respecting their collective rights to have sovereignty, ownership, stewardship, control and management of their own knowledge, data and stories and to determine if, how, when and with whom intellectual property is shared.

Refreshments will be served.
