Nina Döring and Áslat Holmberg (via video message) provided insight into collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners in research. Their presentation was titled “Learning to co-create in Arctic research” and addressed both the urgent need for decolonial approaches to Arctic research and explored personal experiences with co-creative research practices.
In the following Q&A session, several students shared that this topic had not been addressed in their study programmes, highlighting the importance of further engagement with co-creative research also in the natural sciences.
