Convergence research engages with vexing and complex research challenges that are pivotal for addressing societal needs. It is a major focus for the Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program and the NNA Community Office. The NNA-CO’s Convergence Working Groups (CWGs) bring together diverse experts and perspectives that engage with the Arctic to work together towards newly formed and shared goals. There are 3 CWGs supported by the NNA-CO: Fostering Indigenous-led Research CWG, Infrastructure Futures CWG, and Arctic Observing Systems and Technology CWG.
Episode 6 features the Fostering Indigenous-led Research CWG Experienced Co-leads Mary Beth Jäger and Heather Jean Sauyaq Kwamboka Gordon, who share their insights to the group, what it means to foster Indigenous-led research, and how this benefits not only the group members and researchers, but Arctic communities and peoples.
Part 1 gives listeners an introduction to our guests, their position within Arctic Research, and insight into Arctic Research from two Indigenous perspectives.
