Transforming Epistemic Authority in Environmental Management: Building a Future through Plural Knowledge Systems for Planetary Security
Heather Sauyaq Jean Kwamboka Gordon, PhD (Iñupiaq) is a Fulbright Arctic Initiative scholar visiting the Arctic Centre, at the University of Lapland and traveling across Sápmi.
Dr. Gordon will be talking about her work in Alaska that has led her to this Fulbright, and what she is working on currently from learnings in Nunavut and her planned trip in Sápmi. This addresses the lack of inclusion of Indigenous Knowledges and Sciences in land, onshore water, and ocean management decisions. Her work is looking at how to do this.
