E oho! Data sovereignty: Transforming data ecosystems for Māori
Part of E oho! Waitangi series
Professor Tahu Kukutai talks about the importance of Māori data sovereignty for Aotearoa and new directions in the development of Māori data governance and data privacy.
Reclaiming data sovereignty for Māori
How can we move from data dependency and data colonialism towards Indigenous data sovereignty? What does data sovereignty have to do with Māori aspirations for self-determination and Te Tiriti o Waitangi?
Join Professor Tahu Kukutai who will address these questions and share some of her recent research and work on Māori and iwi data sovereignty, as well as data protection and privacy.
