Valuing Torres Strait Knowledge through Sustainable Digital Returns

该项目旨在通过利用日本研究人员50年前创建的关于托雷斯海峡社会和文化的学术案例研究来解决档案材料的可持续归还问题。该项目希望通过利用广泛的实地考察方法来展望托雷斯海峡岛民的前景，从而在研究责任领域产生新的知识。预期成果包括共同创建高质量的数字资源，以及对日本研究机构和托雷斯海峡岛民机构在塑造研究方面的新分析。好处包括可持续社区参与的数字方法的进步、代际知识转移以及对相互尊重的研究关系的扎实见解。

This project aims to address the sustainable return of archival materials by utilising a case study of scholarship about Torres Strait society and culture created fifty years ago by Japanese researchers. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of research accountability by utilising an extensive fieldwork approach to foreground Torres Strait Islander perspectives. Expected outcomes include the co-creation of high-quality digital resources and new analysis of the Japanese research and Torres Strait Islander agency in shaping research. Benefits include advances in digital methodologies for sustainable community engagement, inter-generational knowledge transfer, and grounded insights into respectful research relationships.
