The Fostering Indigenous-led Research (FILR) Convergence Working Group (CWG) is one of three Convergence Working Groups that the NNA-CO supported from June 2023 to May 2025. Each group had experienced and early-career co-leads. This group focused on what Indigenous-led research is now, what it can look like, and next steps toward Indigenous-led research. One of the FILR CWG's final products is this podcast mini-series. Each episode is hosted by a different co-lead and explores a FILR topic of the host's choice, with guests curated by the host. Tune in to this episode of this special mini-series.
Join host Mary Beth Jäger, and guests Dr. Anamaq Margaret Rudolf and Leasi Vanessa Lee Raymond as they discuss the realities of being Indigenous women experts in their respective fields within the realm of Arctic research. This episode discusses the co-production of knowledge, policy, data, and more in a thoughtful way. Tune into this episode to learn (and unlearn), reflect, and think deeply about inclusion, power-shifts, biases, and power in politics and academia. Check out the show notes for more information!
