The InterArctic Knowledges Conference will be a combination of interactive roundtable discussions and active participation, with the aim of sharing and creating interdisciplinary knowledges from and about the Arctic region.
The organizers are aiming for an interdisciplinary group with backgrounds from the Social Sciences, Art and Humanities, and Natural Sciences with main interest the Arctic Region.
The conference will take place 10:00 am - 5:00 pm BST, and be held hybrid and at Durham University Confluence building.
The organizers are not requesting submissions for posters and abstracts. Instead, they ask that participants submit an item or a component from your research that speaks to the Arctic uncertainties and knowledges that you encounter, navigate and produce through your work.
Organizers are inviting responses in a range of media – poems, photographs, images, scientific equipment, graphs, data products, a word cloud, or your favorite quote.
These can be physical items brought along to the workshop or submitted as a digital image in advance. You will not be asked to directly present on these (as you would for a poster or research talk, for example). Instead, these items and submissions will be used to guide the discussions during the morning session and will be printed to be used as part of the creative afternoon workshop session during the conference.
This conference is PGR organized and supported and funded by the Geography Department Politics-State-Space research cluster and the Durham Centre for Academic Development (DCAD).
