Research
Social Services, Supports and Wellbeing in Arctic Canada & Beyond (2020-22)
In December 2020, the Canadian Studies Center received a University of Washington Global Innovation Fund Research Award (2021-2022) to build an international team of scholars and community leaders whose research focuses on social services, supports and well-being in Arctic Canada (and beyond). The team will create a scholarly foundation for this new and evolving academic field. Team members will also produce scholarly papers as part of a special issue of the American Review of Canadian Studies, Volume 52.
