State Library of Queensland

<p><strong><strong>The ARDC invites you to join us in person for an Indigenous Data Governance Masterclass. It’s one day before the 3-day 2025 HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons Summer School in Brisbane/Meanjin.</strong></strong></p><p>The free ARDC Indigenous Data Governance Masterclass at Summer School will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to ethically manage Indigenous data, respecting the cultural protocols and sovereignty of Indigenous communities. It will build the capacity of researchers to engage with Indigenous data, fostering a culturally sensitive and informed approach to data-driven projects.</p><p>The Masterclass introduces Indigenous Data Governance principles to all participants. It then examines in-depth curating and caring for community collections containing Indigenous data. Eighty places are available for tours of Indigenous materials held at the State Library of Queensland (participants will sign up for these at the start of the day). Indigenous data custodians will have opportunities to discuss the data they manage with each other. The day concludes with guidance on applying the Indigenous Data Matrix.</p><h3><strong><strong>Agenda</strong></strong></h3><p>The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mVAhk3GHCUw1M_wOU7moSzVZMiVX4hY2l27SRf-QeGM/edit?usp=sharing" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mVAhk3GHCUw1M_wOU7moSzVZMiVX4hY2l27SRf-QeGM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Welcome Pack,</a> which includes information about getting to the venue, wifi and the agenda is now available for download.Minor details may change closer to the event.</p><h3><br></h3><h3><strong><strong>Who will be speaking?</strong></strong></h3><ul><li>Robert McLellan (Gooreng Gooreng), University of Queensland</li><li>Levi Murray (Wakka Wakka, Kubi Kubi), University of Melbourne</li></ul><h3><strong><strong>Who should attend?</strong></strong></h3><p><strong><strong>Data custodians</strong></strong> working with Indigenous data from:</p><ul><li>Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations</li><li>the private sector, including not-for-profits</li><li>universities and research organisations</li><li>the galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) sector</li><li>all levels of government.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>Researchers</strong></strong> in any discipline who collect or work with Indigenous data</p><h3><br></h3><h3><strong><strong>Travel Bursaries</strong></strong></h3><p>The ARDC is pleased to be offering up to six $500 travel bursaries for the 2025 ARDC Indigenous Data Governance Masterclass at Summer School for people based in Australia.
