The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) and the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) announce their upcoming discussion panel on inclusive environments and navigating power imbalances in Arctic fieldwork. This online event will take place 28 March 2023, 9:00 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time.

The discussion will cover how to build an inclusive fieldwork environment and equip oneself for navigating potential power imbalances prior to heading to the Arctic this summer. Attendees will learn from an array of panelists who have ‘been there, done that’ and learned a lot along the way about what contributes to a positive fieldwork experience, and how to work towards that prior to stepping foot in the Arctic.

Current panelists for the event include:

• Darcy Peter
• Matthew Shupe
• Melissa Ward Jones
