Abstract  Resilience is often invoked to address systemic marginalization (e.g. racism) in academia but inadvertently maintains harmful systems. We argue that the ability to transform systems, as opposed to persevering within them, must be prioritized to make real, lasting change.

Abstract  This music video is a great educational and entertaining experience for Black HIstory Month that shows our greatest leaders have always been concerned about solidarity and linking our movement for freedom with human rights of ALL people. In 1867, only two years after the slavery ended in the U.S., Douglass spoke out against racism against Chinese and Japanese Americans. He argued that Chinese immigrants should be allowed to become citizens just like any other immigrants. He envisioned a "Composite Nation," a multi-racial, multicultural America that recognized human rights. He was way ahead of his time, but he is right on time for our understanding of solidarity and compassion for ourselves and others. This music video sets the excerpts from Frederick Douglass's "Composite Nation" speech to "Joseph Pierce" an original work by jazz giant Francis Wong. Performed by: Amanda Kemp, Vocals Michael Jamanis ,Violin Francis Wong, Tenor Saxophone Matt Woodson, Percussion Text from 1867 "Composite Nation" Speech.

Abstract  The Arctic has been home to Indigenous Peoples from time immemorial. Distinct Indigenous worldviews and complex knowledge systems have been passed on from generation to generation, evolving over time in a living process that continues to this day. Indigenous Peoples' knowledge systems hold methodologies and assessment processes that provide pathways for knowing and understanding the Arctic, which address all aspects of life, including the spiritual, cultural, and ecological, all in interlinked and supporting ways. For too long, Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic and their knowledges have not been equitably included in many research activities. We argue for systematic change in how research-related activities are conducted in the Arctic. Bringing together multiple knowledge systems, specifically Indigenous Peoples' knowledge systems and science, can lead to more equitable, inclusive, and useful outcomes. The co-production of knowledge framework that we forward is designed to assist researchers, decision makers, and communities in moving toward those goals. Given increased interest in the Arctic by the research community, the complex, rapid, and ongoing change in Arctic systems, and amidst renewed and urgent calls for equity globally and across all spheres of life, adoption of a co-production of knowledge framework for the conduct of Arctic research is timely as well as a moral and intellectual imperative. Further, solutions to challenges facing the Arctic and global community are enhanced by the combined understanding of Indigenous Peoples' knowledges and science.
