Universities Accord – The Erasure of Indigenous Leadership and Governance
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The Maiam nayri Wingara Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Data Sovereignty Collective advocates for meaningful approaches to Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Indigenous Data Governance across government, business, and local community organisations. In essence we call for the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to exercise control over a wide diversity of Indigenous data ecosystems within Australia (Walter et al., 2021). Importantly, it may be argued that the higher education sector, and universities themselves, are not only ‘creators’ and ‘managers’ of such ecosystems, but in effect are part of an Indigenous data ecosystem itself (Foxworth & Ellendwood, 2023; Marley, 2019). As a result, we call for the greater Indigenous control and leadership within the higher education sector, and so we are now responding to the Australian Universities Accord Panel Discussion Paper (2023).
