Saskia de Wildt
Affiliate Scholar
The publication to be written and submitted under affiliate status covers the 'Mx. Science' intra-vention that was co-designed by Saskia de Wildt and Anne Chahine for the General Assembly meeting of the ICEBERG project. This intravention introduced Mx. Science, a science- persona, into a science context to explore, reveal, and address certain patterns of interaction, and social conventions in spaces of Arctic research. The joint conference submission will share the insights of this project to the wider Arctic research community at IASSA. Further publications to be written during this period refer to research activities pursued by de Wildt during their RIFS research fellowship, including their "Research Cabaret", and 2 minor interventions that were staged at the institute across 2025.
