Welcome to the knowledge-land-scape: an extended site of Saskia de Wildt’s PhD dissertation. In this space you can explore the research they have conducted between 2019 and 2025 in Nunavut, Canada.  
Welcome to the knowledge-land-scape.  


Unlike more typical dissertations, this space allows you as a reader to play an active part in answering its research question by taking up the role of a fictional community-based researcher that tries to make their way through a large polar bear monitoring project. As you navigate this knowledge-land-scape, you are asked to consider what it means within community-based polar bear research, to ethically bring together Inuit Knowledge and western science? You can choose between 3 narrated storylines to guide you across the knowledge-land-scape and explore this question. Each storyline allows you to make decisions and respond in ways that redirect your journey through the knowledge-land-scape and encounter different insights. Like community-based research itself, this knowledge-land-scape is full of challenges and opportunities to navigate and learn from. You may run into figurative ice-pressure ridges, shipwrecks and shapeshifting beasts as well as, depending on how you respond, plenty of landmarks and vistas that help you gain insights, and answer the research question in different ways as you make your way through this knowledge-land-scape.

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.
