| Abstract: | Enacting change globally: the MeSH experience The MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) term for ‘Oceanic Ancestry Group’, which ‘Aboriginal Australians’ and a host of other Australian Indigenous terms is mapped to, was changed to ‘Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander’ in the 2022 MeSH update. This talk will document how raising an issue discovered at a local level can impact change globally and give voice to those who need it most by combining subject, technical and Indigenous expertise to enact much overdue change. |
