UA faculty Dr. Stephanie Russo Carroll is a lead organizer for the upcoming U.S. Indigenous Data & Governance Sovereignty Summit. 

The U.S. Indigenous Data Sovereignty Network will hold a two-day, in-person Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) and Indigenous Data Governance (IDGov) summit titled Building Action and Power on April 11-12, 2024 near Tucson, Arizona on the homelands of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.

The summit will also feature a day-long workshop for a small cohort of invited Indigenous leaders and scholars on April 10.

The 2024 summit – which event managers expect to attract between 150-300 IDSov and IDGov experts, researchers and activists to southern Arizona – will build on knowledge and conversations initiated at smaller events at UCLA in 2017 and at ASU in 2019.

The summit is now full, but you can read more about the event here.
