Local Contexts team members Stephany RunningHawk Johnson (Oglala Lakota Nation), Ashley Rojas, Corrie Roe, and Emily Santhanam (Chickasaw/Choctaw/Tamilian) and University of California Santa Cruz researcher Ann Mc Cartney will lead a two-hour workshop, “Actioning the CARE Principles in Biodiversity Genomics Data and Metadata using Local Contexts Labels and Notices,” as a part of this year’s Biodiversity Genomics Academy.

In this interactive session, the Local Contexts team will introduce their digital labeling tools that operationalize the CARE Principles of Indigenous Data Governance. Attendees will participate in a hands-on demonstration of the Local Contexts Hub website, and small group discussions to talk through case studies and technical implementation, including metadata considerations.

By the end of this session, you will have a better understanding of the CARE Principles and how to implement the Local Contexts tools into various systems. This session would be a meaningful complement to the “Indigenous Data Sovereignty in Biodiversity Genomics” session planned for the BioDiversity Genomics Conference.

The workshop is free, online, and open to all. See more details, including the other workshops offered throughout the month of October, and register your interest on the BGA24 website.

BGA24 precedes the Biodiversity Genomics Conference, which is also free, online, and open to all. This workshop will complement the BG topical session, “Indigenous Data Sovereignty in Biodiversity Genomics,” chaired by Krystal Tsosie (Diné) of Arizona State University and Maui Hudson (Whakatōhea) of University of Waikato and Local Contexts Strategic Advisor.
