Evie Morin

Evie Morin is an affiliate researcher with the reIMAGINE Arctic Research group at the RIFS, where she was previously a research associate. Her work centres on knowledge co-production, with a focus on resources that support ethical co-creative partnerships and power asymmetries that shape how Indigenous knowledge is actualized in Arctic biodiversity governance. As an affiliate, Evie is broadening the dissemination of the outputs of two complementary projects. NJUOLLA->QARJUK explored existing Indigenous (co-)authored Arctic research ethics guidelines, and its expanded dissemination includes additional outreach to guideline authors, a step shaped by the project's own findings. A peer-reviewed article based on findings from SIEMA is also in preparation, which analyzed how Indigenous knowledge is considered in action-oriented Arctic biodiversity management documents, finding that when utility drives inclusion rather than rights, Indigenous knowledge is treated as a resource to be drawn on rather than a knowledge system to be respected on its own terms.
