Indigenous Digital Humanities

The Indigenous Digital Humanities Research Theme highlights the challenges of how to ethically work with Indigenous peoples and material in Digital Humanities research. Its primary objectives involve:

  • reconnecting communities to their taonga and mātauranga held in the UK (and possibly Europe);
  • fostering relationships between holding institutions, research groups and source communities;
  • fostering joint, co-developed research, digital, non-digital and hybrid; and
  • exploring options for producing culturally appropriate digital and analogue outputs/artifacts, beyond traditional academic outputs of monographs and papers.
