Session Description:
Indigenizing research agenda and methodology is an important priority to ensure that Arctic research is respectful and inclusive of Indigenous knowledge, is ethically conducted, and addresses urgent community needs and priorities.
We invite researchers, especially Indigenous scholars, to share their experiences in implementing the Indigenized and knowledge co-production approaches throughout the complete research process, including:
- The principle of community engagement at all stages of project implementation.FAIR, CARE, and other principles on Indigenous data sovereignty and governance.
- Local communities' cultural protocols for fieldwork.
- The Free, Prior, Informed Consent.
- The principle of transparency.
- Decolonization and Indigenization of Arctic research.
For this Session, we also invite presentations on Indigenous leadership in Arctic research, data use and dissemination, with a special focus on community data ownership and sovereignty principles, as well as co-authorship/first-authorship with community members when publishing and disseminating research results.
The Session is organized by the ARCTICenter, UNI, Project Understanding the Gendered Impacts of COVID-19 in the Arctic (COVID-GEA), and Project Measuring Urban Sustainability in Transition (MUST), and Project Socio-Ecological Systems Transformation in River basins of the sub-Arctic under climate change (SESTRA).
