Dr Jane Anderson is a Research Fellow at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies and a Rockefeller Fellow at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. In collaboration with IPRIA, Jane is working on a project that explores contested ownership and control of historical and contemporarily recorded Indigenous cultural knowledge. The project is focused on the significant amounts of copyright material (in particular ethnographic photographs, sound-recordings and films) that have been produced about Indigenous people in Australia over the period of colonization. This material generates copyright problems that are experienced on a daily basis by Indigenous people and communities as well as and institutions that hold collections of cultural material important to Indigenous people. Jane is also the author of the forthcoming book through Edward Elgar Press in the UKLaw/Knowledge/Culture: The Production of Indigenous Knowledge in Intellectual Property Law.
