T4-3. History of polar exploration, cooperation, research and logistics
Proposed focus:
This session will focus on the discussion of contextual factors such as the scientific and socio-cultural background that triggered co-operation or non co-operation at different historical stages of polar research as well as aspects of the everyday life of polar explorers and the impact of politics and economy on polar expeditions. Furthermore, it will be discussed how, over time, polar field stations have served serve as units of knowledge production in the field and what role they, along with scientific cooperation, have to play to do.
Session in theme: Theme 4. Human dimensions of change: Health, society and resources
