Joy Porter was invited to speak at the “Indigenous Peoples, Traditional Knowledge, and Intellectual Property in International Law” conference held at Harvard Law School (HLS) on 15 February 2024.

Leading Native American scholars, intellectual property experts, and legal theorists explored competing frameworks, normative justifications, and pragmatic considerations related to national and international treaty regimes (e.g., CBD, Nagoya Protocol, TRIPS Agreement, UNDRIP) affecting the interests of Indigenous peoples and local communities in their knowledge assets.
