Herstory of Antarctica

New episode! On today’s Polar Times we welcome Morgan Seag of the Scott Polar Research Institute. Morgan is a social scientist who’s current research examines scientific institutions in Antarctica to see how they have evolved over time to become more gender inclusive. We chat to her about the history of women in the Antarctic, how things have changed since the 20th century, what is left still to do on the road to equality and why everyone- that is EVERYONE- can and should be involved in polar science!

Here is a link to Morgans interview with Ellen Mosley-Thompson, mentioned in the episode, as well as to the site where you can find more of her interviews:
