Happy to announce that I recently contributed to the new special issue, “Decolonisation, Gender Studies, and the Nordics,” in the Women, Gender & Research Journal, where RIFS Affiliate Scholar Naja Dyrendom Graugaard served as the chief co-editor. In collaboration with Nina Döring (RIFS), and Nina Hermansen and Jan-Erik Henriksen from the Indigenous Voices (IVO) research group at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) we published an article titled: “Towards decolonial Arctic research relations: Co-creating spaces for shared embodied experiences in a European research community”.
The article is based on our long-term collaboration, having worked together in various projects and engagements, such as “DÁVGI: Co-creation for Biocultural Diversity in the Arctic” and currently “BIRGEJUPMI: Bridging Knowledge Systems for Inclusive, Resilient, and Prosperous Arctic Coastal Futures”. We focus on the dynamics and the specifics of a European research community working on Arctic issues by theorising affective spaces of collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, emphasising co-creation as a practice of epistemic justice.
Thank you to the whole team at Women, Gender & Research Journal for considering our work.
