This is one of three case studies conducted as part of my research that seeks to explore how ethical knowledge conciliation may come to matter within community-based polar bear research. This particular case study was informed by the other two: community-based co-creative filmmaking, and the organization of the final BearWatch (pre-)workshops. The following track cuts across a performance based exploration of how the technicalities of drag may unsettle certain taken for granted positions within the culture of western sciences when encountering another.

Nukatugaq - Mx. Science

"Mx. Science" invites especially non-indigenous researchers to rethink and reflect on their role and position in our scientific landscape. As a figure that potentially unsettles several norms within the Arctic sciences, Mx. Science holds potential to invoke conversations, and create a liminal space to build new relationships. As a situated performance it is both an exercise in new ways of engaging each other through genuine curiosity, as well as an effective tool to que(e)ry where and when differentiated bodies dis/connect in space.
