Paywalls
- Scientific progress is currently thwarted by one thing: paywalls.
- Paywalls, which restrict access to content without a paid subscription, represent a common practice used by academic publishers to block access to scientific research for those who have not paid.
- This keeps £19.6bn ($33bn) flowing from higher education and science into for profit publisher bank accounts.

End goal of is action and positive change
Focus on change has the potential to bridge the
theory practice gap of conventional research
Feminist
Theories
Feminist researchers challenge biases inherent in traditional research practices: Western, white, and patriarchal
Call for methodological approaches that are aligned with feminist theoretical perspectives
Such a perspective shifts patriarchal ways of understanding the world and creates opportunities for greater balance of power and emancipatory knowledge seeking
Postcolonial
feminist
perspectives
•Aligned with the methodological tenets of CBPR because they share a commitment to challenging and disrupting dominant relations of power, including colonialism, and
work to validate culturally specific forms of knowledge.
data sovereignty
ownership, control, access, possession
Ownership
•The notion of ownership refers to the relationship of a First
Nations community to its cultural knowledge/data/information.
•The principle states that a community or group owns information collectively in the same way that an individual owns their personal information. Ownership is distinct from stewardship (u can use it, but u can’t own it).
•The stewardship or custodianship of data or information by an institution that is accountable to the group is a mechanism through which ownership may be maintained.
Control
- The aspirations and inherent rights of First Nations to maintain and regain control of all aspects of their lives and institutions extend to information and data.
- The principle of ‘control’ asserts that First Nations people, their communities and representative bodies must control how information about them is collected, used and disclosed.
- The element of control extends to all aspects of information management, from collection of data to the use, disclosure and ultimate destruction of data.
Access
- First Nations must have access to information and data about themselves and their communities, regardless of where it is held.
- The principle also refers to the right of First Nations communities and organisations to manage and make decisions regarding who can access their collective information.
Possession
- While ‘ownership’ identifies the relationship between a people and their data, possession reflects the state of stewardship of data. First Nations possession puts data within First Nations’ jurisdiction and, therefore, within First Nations’ control.
- Possession is the mechanism by which to assert and protect ownership and control. First Nations generally exercise little or no control over data that are in the possession of others, particularly other governments.
