About this Webinar:

What does Indigenous Data Sovereignty look like in East Asia? This webinar introduces the development of Indigenous Data Sovereignty in Taiwan and explains why Taiwan offers a perspective for global discussions. Participants will learn about current developments, key legal and policy issues, and how Indigenous communities are responding to opportunities and challenges created by digital technologies, cultural heritage initiatives, and artificial intelligence. No prior knowledge of Indigenous Data Sovereignty is required.

Featured Speaker:

Coming from a mixed background that includes the Indigenous Pangcah/Amis people of Taiwan, her research explores law, technology, and Indigenous studies, focusing on data sovereignty and self-determination.
