Hi everyone,
Following yesterday's OE week talk (I will share the recording when it's ready!), Shirley Delorme-Russell, UM Indigenous Librarian Intern, has shared this upcoming opportunity to learn more about Indigenous data sovereignty, specifically about data colonialism.
Mon Mar 11/330 Pacific 530 Manitoba time
In the age of AI and Big Data, who gets to control what information we have access to? What if corporate organizations are purposefully providing misleading information to communities? Are we seeing the emergence of new forms of data colonialism?
Join us to hear Vanessa Gray (Anishinaabe kwe, Aamjiwnaang First Nation) who will be speaking about the report she co-wrote for Yellowhead Institute titled “Data Colonialism in Canada’s Chemical Valley: Aamjiwnaang First Nation and the Failure of the Pollution Notification System”. This special report describes the permission-to-pollute system in Chemical Valley and how industry is manipulating data that they provide to Aamjiwnaang First Nation as a form of data colonialism.
Exploring these types of questions around the interface of issues of power, data and modern-day colonial practices the talk will be followed by a roundtable discussion facilitated by Manuhuia Barcham (Emily Carr Interaction Design faculty) where we will explore related issues around Indigenous data sovereignty and the central role it can play in our work at ECU.
