with Northern Communities" and will be presented by Gary Kofinas,
Associate Professor of Resource Policy and Management at the University
of Alaska Fairbanks School of Natural Resources and Agricultural
Science.
This seminar will address considerations when working within Northern
communities, such as going through the proper channels to obtain
permission to work in the communities, identifying and coordinating with
local interests, ways to ensure involvement of the local community in
the research, how to reciprocate knowledge back to the community, and
how to ensure personal safety for researchers working in remote
communities.
