The Centre’s head of research and engagement, Tricia Logan, was a panelist at a recent digital humanities conference. Collaboration Works Two Ways: Data Sovereignty and Representation in Indigenous Digital Humanities featured speakers from both UBC and the University of Toronto.
The roundtable discussion explored issues of collaboration, complicity and risk in digital projects that engage with Indigenous and other communities grappling with place and power on new media platforms.
“Whether it is the digitization of historical audio and moving images and their eventual dissemination online, the collection of Twitter data about Indigenous health, making visible survivors’ testimonies of Residential School experiences or harnessing cartography to spatialize representations of Indigenous languages and narratives of place, each of our panelists grapples with the complexities of ethical collaboration and digital visibility in online and digital spaces.”
