Knowledge Co-production

You have found a "Wrecksite".

Here and there, "shipwrecks" will manifest themselves.

They gesture to the apparatuses that produce conditions under which some phenomena can exists and others cannot.

This one allows you to think with the im/possibilities of knowledge (co-)production in polar bear monitoring and co-management.

In scientific wildlife co-management and research the properties of ‘science’ are mostly determined by the agential cuts of post-positivist western natural sciences and its understanding of the world through representative data (Brook, 2005; Smylie, 2014).

Scientist seeking to make IQ ‘’intelligible’’ within this paradigm, either need to break it down into representative data, or place IQ completely outside of the phenomena of Science as ‘another phenomena’, like values, beliefs, ethics or cultural identities.

Besides, the Gjoa Haven HTA, has indicated a couple of times that they feel that research seems to be ever ongoing, without it ever impacting their polar bear harvest quota. Over the last couple of years they have been trying to get BearWatch researchers to turn their focus towards the impacts of reduced polar bear harvest quota. Tomorrow, 20 people will come to talk about how a harvesting moratorium from 2001 has had ongoing impacts on them up until today.

Return to the BearWatch project to join the workshops. You should get going, because you also still need to buy coffee, "pop", and snacks for that meeting.<\div>
