2024 Swinburne Annual Barak|Wonga Oration

It is with great pleasure, Swinburne University of Technology and the Moondani Toombadool Centre invite you to attend 2024 Swinburne Annual Barak|Wonga Oration on Tuesday 26 November 2024. 

The Swinburne Annual Barak-Wonga Oration is designed to advance understandings in the wider community on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues and is named in honour of two significant Aboriginal leaders, William Barak and Simon Wonga. This year, we are honored to welcome Dr. Terri Janke as our esteemed speaker.

Dr. Terri Janke is a Wuthathi, Yadhaigana and Meriam woman, an international authority on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), and the creator of the True Tracks® framework for best-practice Indigenous engagement. She is the owner and Solicitor Director of 100% Indigenous owned legal and consulting firm Terri Janke and Company. Dr. Janke is a leading expert on the intersections between AI and ICIP.

Dr Janke and her team have facilitated and presented workshops on the topic for clients and general audiences and are assisting on several AI-related matters. Dr. Janke is a trusted advisor and is currently appointed as a member of the Copyright and AI Reference Group established by the Attorney-General’s Department, and the Temporary AI Expert Working Group established by the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources.

This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with critical discussions and learn from Dr. Janke’s insights on Navigating Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property & Copyright in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Please join us in person for the 2024 Swinburne Annual Barak|Wonga Oration.
