Highlight your research, experience, & stories in the Breaking the Ice Ceiling polar women researchers series

In 2021, a coalition of organizations including The Arctic Institute, Women in Polar Science, and Women of the Arctic are organizing a webinar series, Breaking the Ice Ceiling. Indicate your interest in this form if you would like to present, and the organizers will reach out.

The series aims to:

• Illuminate polar research and achievements (past and present) by those who identify as women and those who were designated female but self-identify differently across all races and ethnicities to uncover lesser-known stories of women in polar science, historical and contemporary;
• Foster discussion on systemic change in polar sciences (Indigenous, natural, and social sciences) to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion;
• Weave connections and collaborations between many roles in a social change ecosystem in order to develop tools and methods to reach new audiences and inspire the next generation of women polar knowledge holders, researchers, and scientists; and
• Create a space that values and incorporates Indigenous women’s oral histories and traditional knowledge as a fundamental component of scientific research.
