Polynya aims to activate a culture shift among middle school students, with a special emphasis on girls living in the Arctic and sub-Arctic, to see women as trailblazers of Arctic traditional and western sciences. We want girls to see themselves in every corner of the polar sciences, Traditional and Indigenous Knowledges, research, advocacy, arts, and change-making community. Published four times a year, Polynya will illuminate polar research and achievements by those who identify as women and those who were designated female but self-identify differently across all races and ethnicities.
