Welcome back for the sixth and final episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with the Polar Times.

We round out our series by hopping over to Greenland and chatting with Dr. Gitte Reimer, the rector at the University of Greenland, and Dr. Elizabeth (Beth) Rink, a professor at Montana State University whose research examines sexual and reproductive health in Greenland through community-based participatory research.

The conversation touches on past and current uses of community-based participatory research in Greenland and how the methodology has evolved over the past three decades. We also discuss Gitte's efforts to implement Greenland's recently-released national research policy, which emphasizes the local and nationwide importance of community-based participatory research.

We hope you enjoy this important final episode of Sense of the Arctic!
