Description

This introductory session will provide an overview of Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) and why it matters for researchers working with Indigenous Peoples, communities and data. The workshop will introduce key concepts and considerations for working respectfully and responsibly with Indigenous data throughout the research process.

Participants will explore what IDS is, why it is important and what researchers should be thinking about when planning, collecting, managing, sharing and preserving Indigenous data. The session will also highlight considerations that may arise through the research ethics process, including questions researchers may encounter when working with Indigenous communities and data.

This session is designed as a foundational awareness workshop for researchers who want to better understand Indigenous Data Sovereignty and identify ways to incorporate respectful and ethical data practices into their research.

Presented by Lucia Costanzo, Associate Librarian, Research and Scholarship, McLaughlin Library, University of Guelph

Skills for Research Impact (SRIS) is a workshop series offered during the fall and winter semesters at the University of Guelph. Faculty, research staff, graduate students and anyone interested in enhancing the impact of their research are invited to participate.

SRIS offers specialized training in knowledge mobilization (KMb) and research impact, with practical, interactive sessions designed to help researchers build deeper KMb skills and apply them to their research.

This workshop series is a collaboration between the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance and the Research Innovation Office and the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute at the University of Guelph. For more information, contact us at kttadmin@uoguelph.ca.
