Arctic Research: Context, Theories and Methodologies
The Arctic region is warming four times faster than the rest of the world and is experiencing dramatic changes in socio-economic, ecological and political conditions. To understand these processes, we access the contemporary theoretical and methodological directions in Arctic research and explore its relevance for our joint and individual research interests.
The group actively works to strengthen Arctic research at the Faculty of Social Science at Nord University through networking with external partners and Indigenous people organizations. We increase the relevance of Arctic research for educational programs at the university and contribute to publications in high-ranking Arctic/Polar journals.
In doing so, we contribute to the development of one of Nord University’s strategic areas of blue and green growth in the Arctic Region.
