Session Description:
An open call for presentations on equity in Arctic research, including examples of project-level innovation, trainings, metrics, evaluation, institutional changes, and research prioritization. Recent calls for equity in Arctic research have pointed to numerous challenges, including institutional barriers presented by university systems, models of academic advancement, and the current peer review model for funding and publication in research. This open call session is a companion to the panel session, “Advancing Equity in Arctic Research through Institutional Innovation and Change.” The conveners plan to balance brief presentations submitted through this open session call with discussion time for an interactive dialogue on equity in Arctic research.
