This workshop, taking place on the UAF Troth Yeddha' Campus and at the International Arctic Research Center in Fairbanks, AK, orients graduate students to core principles in community-based and collaborative Arctic research. Students examine their positionality, learn from Alaska Native Elders and scholars, become oriented with co-production of knowledge, learn what responsible allyship looks like in research and experience the Arctic in the deep of winter!
Join us online for discussion on how engineering research can shape the future of Arctic infrastructure. Panelists Baxter Bond (Alaska Center for Energy and Power), Billy Connor (Alaska University Transportation Center), and Uyemaa Gantulga (George Washington University) will share opening remarks, followed by group discussion.
Questions for discussion include the following:
Join a discussion with the NNA-CO's Infrastructure Futures Convergence Working Group on how social science research can shape the future of Arctic infrastructure. Panelists Saas Ksenofontov (Sakha, Postdoc at the University of Northern Iowa), Olga Povoroznyuk (Postdoc at the University of Vienna), and Peter Schweitzer (Professor at the University of Vienna) will share opening thoughts, followed by group discussion.
Dr. Katie Spellman will talk about scenario storytelling, an innovative model for citizen/community science developed as part of the Winterberry project. This model turns data into stories and pathways to action, engaging youth and the broader community. This workshop will consist of 30 minutes of interactive presentation with opportunities for audience participation followed by Q&A.
