Location: Akasofu Building, Room 501

Please join us for a panel and discussion focused on actionable, community-centered research and working with Indigenous Knowledge holders. Our speakers will share examples of their experiences with community engagement, including their goals, approaches to relationship-building, and some of the challenges they encountered. Their research spans remote sensing applications, the development of data tools and products, and fisheries management. Presentations will be followed by moderated small group discussions where participants will be encouraged to share their ongoing or planned research activities, strengthen relationships across UAF and share good practices in and questions about working with communities.
