Open Session - HYBRID
Room: UMC Fourth Floor - 415
Organiser: NNA CWG FILR/AOST, Dylan Blaskey (Navigating the New Arctic Convergent Working Groups)
Event Description:
This workshop is co-hosted by NNA’s Convergent Working Groups on Fostering Indigenous-Led Research and Arctic Observing Systems and Technologies. It is intended for arctic researchers of all career stages with an early morning session focused on graduate students. Each interactive session throughout the day builds upon related concepts shared in the workshop and committing for the whole day is encouraged.
Session One focuses on how to make positive progress towards the co-production of knowledge, especially once “the train has already left the station” for any given project. Special consideration for the role graduate students may play is centered in this session.
Session Two will identify the trappings of cultural reductionism and process control in Arctic research systems, along with determining pathways for researchers, especially PIs, to hold themselves accountable.
Session Three will focus on low-cost, open-source tech solutions that researchers can share with community members to engage in long-term monitoring and other community-driven projects.
Session Four is a facilitated discussion to provide context for those from outside of Arctic Indigenous communities who intend to work in these areas, and help researchers develop the tools and self-awareness they will need to be more successful.
