Session Abstract:
This IASC cross-cutting workshop, organised by the IASSA Working Group Gender in the Arctic, addresses key topics of gender and sexuality in Polar research with a focus on the Arctic. It brings together the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities in order to discuss and reflect together. The workshop will include presentations as well as an interactive conversation space. It is open to newcomers interested in this topic as well as those with their own experiences on this matter.
The workshop will cover topics such as Indigenous studies of gender and sexuality; gendered/sexual/other power relations in field-work and the academic work environment; gender and LGBTQI discrimination in research practices and knowledge production; and methodological ways of understanding and studying gender and sexuality in the Arctic.
The aim is to promote diversity and inclusivity in terms of gender, sexuality and Indigenous knowledges across a broad variety of disciplines.
