Welcome to the knowledge-land-scape.

My name is Saskia de Wildt and this space is an extended site of my PhD dissertation: “Community-based polar bear monitoring research as an ethical practice, process and space of engagement”

Unlike more typical dissertations, this space allows you as a reader to move alongside me as I answer the following research question: What does it mean within community-based polar bear research to ethically reconciliate Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (the Inuit Knowledge system) and western sciences?

You can choose between 3 narrated cuts across this Knowledge-Land-Scape to explore this question. However, like all community-based research, these journeys will not be straightforward. You may run into ice-pressure ridges, shipwrecks and shapeshifting beasts, as well as -depending on how you respond- plenty of landmarks and vistas, that help you orient and gain emergent insights, as you make your own way.
