Antarctica was once a forbidden place. These women are changing that historical inequity
A new exhibition amplifies the voices of women involved in Antarctica, a place that "gets under your skin".

One of the hardest parts of being disabled is dealing with the ppl who are certain your illnesses are your fault. That you aren’t trying hard enough. That you failed.
That if they become disabled they will “overcome.”
Disability is NOT a moral failing. It happens to everyone.

The systemic issues plaguing fieldwork in remote and/or isolated locations cross fields. So much of this rings familiar and it's so frustrating that we're coming up on 10 years since the initial SAFE study about fieldwork in anthropology.
