Indigenous Rights & Open Data: The CARE Principles as a Framework

Description

Indigenous data governance is a critical aspect of upholding Indigenous rights and fostering equitable partnerships in research and data management. The CARE principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) are designed to guide the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in data governance and increase their access to and benefit from data.

This talk by University of Arizona's Stephanie Russo-Carroll, who is also one of the co-founders of the Global Indigenous Data Alliance (GIDA), will share emerging tools and resources that can be leveraged to implement the CARE Principles within research and data relationships.

Russo-Carroll is a citizen of the Native Village of Kluti-Kaah in Alaska and of Sicilian-descent. At the University of Arizona, she is associate professor of public health, Associate Director for the Native Nations Institute, and Associate Research Professor at the Udall Center. Her research group, the Collaboratory for Indigenous Data Governance, develops research, policy, and practice innovations for Indigenous data sovereignty.

This event is part of JHURA Town Hall Series.
