Contract warriors for Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property

We welcome you to a Yarn Up on contract care and Indigenous research management introduced by Federation Universty's Inaugural Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous), Katrina Beer. This Yarn Up will firstly hear from Mariann Fee reflecting on Emma’s keynote from last years’ ARMS annual conference, where messages of simple steps to become contract warriors were shared.  In reflecting on research management as integral to supporting Indigenous research methodologies and scholars, we take a long view of achieving good cultural and social impact. We will then introduce Emma Lee to briefly share again those messages of how to become a contract warrior to increase Indigenous inclusion within broader research management.

The final part of the session will be an open Q&A for the in-person attendees. However, as sensitive topics will be discussed, this part of the session will not be shared in the virtual session. 

**Please note that this event is a live stream of an in-person event at Monash University.
