Local Contexts: Supporting Iwi Rights and Interests in Data and Repositories - Dr Janette Hamilton-Pearce, Ashley Rojas This presentation will focus on introducing the Local Contexts tools for managing, sharing, and supporting Iwi rights and interests in data and repositories. Institutional repositories in Aotearoa are not neutral platforms. These platforms take on the colonial policies to archive and promote Māori as the 'Dying Race' driven by Issac Featherston since 1856. To counter that narrative, you will learn about the Local Contexts Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Biocultural (BC) Labels and Notices initiative, and how they can be implemented within these repositories. There will be time for questions and discussion after the presentation. |

Russell J. Stanford, Open Access and the enshittification of scholarly publication - Anton Angelo Enshittification is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Scholarly publishing is failing in its task of enabling the results of research to be made available widely and usefully. Open Access, a strategy to help with this has been co-opted for profiteering and University of Canterbury author Russell J. Stanford is a prime example of the ongoing failure of the scholarly publishing system. There will be time for questions and discussion after the presentation. |
