“…A promising application of the principles within CPK could be the context of natural resource management practices and approaches. Many of the tools used to manage natural resources were built-into legislation from western frameworks based in science (e.g., Marine Mammal Protection Act 2019 and definitions of populations and models of population growth) rather than from Indigenous worldviews (Stevenson 2004, Metcalf and Robards 2008, Daniel 2019, Graugaard 2020. The management (both science and decision making) of land animals (e.g., moose and caribou), birds (e.g., migratory fowl), fish (e.g., salmon), and marine mammals relies on inequitable spaces created by agencies prioritizing or solely utilizing western scientific concepts such as population estimates, mortality, and reproduction rates (Iain Davidson-Hunt and O 'Flaherty 2007, Raymond-Yakoubian 2012, McCarthy et al 2014, Snook et al 2018, MMC 2019, ICC AK 2020.…”

“…Indigenous voices in the Arctic have emphasized their longstanding needs and demands for more inclusive and equitable research activities. Calls for collaborative approaches to research, including with Indigenous Peoples, are not new (Flaherty 1995, Smith 1999, UNDP 2001, Wilson 2008, ICC 2010, ITK 2018, Daniel 2019, Heeringa et al 2019, Miller and Wyborn 2020, though they have recently received more intensive attention and discussion by the Arctic research community (Armitage et al 2011, Irlbacher-Fox 2014, Gadamus et al 2015, Euskirchen et al 2020. There are elevated numbers of requests and inquiries for Arctic communities to engage in research, often because many funding opportunities now require various levels of engagement with affected communities (e.g., Barnard et al 2021, NSF 2021 Nevertheless, research continues to often be focused on the https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol27/iss1/art34/…”

The Arctic has been home to Indigenous Peoples from time immemorial. Distinct Indigenous worldviews and complex knowledge systems have been passed on from generation to generation, evolving over time in a living process that continues to this day. Indigenous Peoples' knowledge systems hold methodologies and assessment processes that provide pathways for knowing and understanding the Arctic, which address all aspects of life, including the spiritual, cultural, and ecological, all in interlinked and supporting ways. For too long, Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic and their knowledges have not been equitably included in many research activities. We argue for systematic change in how research-related activities are conducted in the Arctic. Bringing together multiple knowledge systems, specifically Indigenous Peoples' knowledge systems and science, can lead to more equitable, inclusive, and useful outcomes. The co-production of knowledge framework that we forward is designed to assist researchers, decision makers, and communities in moving toward those goals. Given increased interest in the Arctic by the research community, the complex, rapid, and ongoing change in Arctic systems, and amidst renewed and urgent calls for equity globally and across all spheres of life, adoption of a co-production of knowledge framework for the conduct of Arctic research is timely as well as a moral and intellectual imperative. Further, solutions to challenges facing the Arctic and global community are enhanced by the combined understanding of Indigenous Peoples' knowledges and science..

“…Let us at least accept this fundamental truth: EHS institutions and scholarship have not avoided racism's influence. Further, EHS research has often ignored or excluded indigenous or traditional ecological knowledge that emphasizes interconnectivity between physical cultural and spiritual roles and responsibilities within a system (Arquette et al 2002;Daniel 2019;Kelly 2020). What, then, is required of EHS so that this moment is not wasted and supports the social justice movement?…”

"Maybe this is just not the place for me:" Gender harassment and discrimination in the geosciences

et al. 2022

Rampant gender-based harassment and discrimination are recognized problems that negatively impact efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. We explored the particularities of this phenomenon in the geosciences, via focus groups conducted at STEM professional society meetings, with the goal of informing interventions specific to the discipline. Using grounded theory analysis, two primary drivers for the persistence and perpetuation of gender-based harassment in the geosciences were identified: a particular history of power dynamics and maintenance of dominant stereotypes, and a pattern of ineffective responses to incidents of harassment and discrimination. Informed by intersectional feminist scholarship by women of color that illustrates how efforts to address the underrepresentation of women in STEM without attending to the overlapping impacts of racism, colonialism, ableism, and classism will not succeed, we view harassment and discrimination as structural problems that require collective solutions. Continuing to recruit individuals into a discipline without changing its fundamental nature can tokenize and isolate them or encourage assimilation and acceptance of deep-seated traditions no matter how damaging. It is the responsibility of those in power, and especially those who hold more privileged status due to their social identities, to contribute to the dismantling of current structures that reinforce inequity. By providing explanatory illustrative examples drawn from first-person accounts we aim to humanize the numbers reported in workplace climate surveys, address gaps in knowledge specific to the geosciences, and identify interventions aligned with an intersectional framework that aim to disrupt discriminatory practices endemic to the geosciences and larger STEM community.
