Congratulations to Dr. Sonajharia Minz on her appointment as the Co-Chair of the UNESCO Chair in Transforming Indigenous Knowledge, Research Governance, and Rematriation.
Dr. Minz will jointly lead this initiative hosted by Simon Fraser University and Jawaharlal Nehru University, focusing on empowering Indigenous communities through inclusive research practices and technological innovation.
I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Minz on two occasions—first, during her visit as the Chief Guest at an ABSU Conference, and later at Sido-Kanhu Murmu University during her tenure as Vice-Chancellor. Her deep commitment to social justice and academic excellence continues to inspire.
