Feminisms, Epistemes and Techno-Sciences – Contributing for more-than Human in the Arctic
Mervi Heikkinen’s project as Arctic Five Chair is centered around the main topic of gender and intersectional analysis in the Arctic knowledge production. The project seeks to answer the research question of how intersectional gender equality is intertwined in Arctic knowledge production processes and research results – Arctic knowledges.
