KM08. Science Education, Outreach and Communication in the North by Early Career Researchers: Success Stories and Challenges
Conveners: Catherine Girard, Sophie Dufour-Beauséjour, Gwyneth MacMillan
Session Description
Science outreach, education, and communication activities related to Arctic research can lead to positive exchanges of scientific and local Indigenous knowledge, as well as contribute to growing capacity and developing trust between researchers and Northern community members. Activities such as community presentations, classroom visits, science camps, and sharing research through art are frequently led by early-career researchers (ECRs: graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new Principal Investigators), who are often more involved in day-to-day interactions with communities. Although these activities are considered an integral part of conducting science in the North, the task of organizing outreach and education with communities generally falls onto the shoulders of ECRs, who often lack formal training and other resources on how to effectively engage with Indigenous communities. Conveners invite graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, new Principal Investigators, and Northerners to share best practices, success stories, and challenges on science education, outreach, and communication.
