Indigenous Data Sovereignty: The Elements of CARE

Thursday, February 13, 2025
2:30 pm – 3:30 pm

Provided by The Ohio State University. Indigenous peoples and communities have long been creators, users, and keepers of data. Join our panel of experts as they explore the ways Indigenous communities currently use scientific data as tools of care. From genomic data to ecological data and sociological data, they share how information is used to push for sovereignty and self-determination.

This event will be held both online and in-person at the Research Commons. It is open to student, faculty, and staff researchers from all disciplines, including those outside of Ohio State.
