by Sophie Hubbell and Adam Akerblom, Arctic Initiative Interns, UW Undergraduates<\/p>\n

Every so often the University has the honor of hosting one of the world\u2019s bright minds in the form of a visiting scholar. In January the Canadian Studies Center had the pleasure of welcoming Jo\u0451l Plouffe to our beautiful campus. On the 15th of January we, the Arctic Initiative Interns, had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with Jo\u0451l showing him around our campus. Jo\u0451l is a professor visiting the University of Washington from Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, and is here teaching the Task Force on Arctic Security.\u00a0His primary focus is the international relations between actors involved in the Arctic as well as their security dimensions. These include international commerce, economics and military questions in the area. The research he conducts is an investigation of the geopolitical and regional dynamics of the numerous Arctic states and actors. Particularly the role played by Arctic interests in U.S. foreign policy is a major focal point.<\/p>\n

When asked what the single most important thing he wanted people to understand about his research is, he divulged that the region is exceedingly dynamic in nature. Its diversity, peoples, cultures, histories, and biodiversity should be in the forefront of Arctic initiatives. The Arctic ice is disappearing however the people are not. Climate change can mean new opportunities that foster adaptation and substantial growth. This knowledge is taking effect in the Nordic region however Jo\u0451l seeks to create an awakening within North America and political science as a whole. The issues of the Arctic are not often felt by the southern-oriented people of North America and as such are largely absent from political debate and academic curriculums.<\/p>\n

His foremost task during his visit to Seattle is to teach the 2013 Task Force on Arctic Security, a program of the Canadian Studies and International Studies programs in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. With climate change and globalization, the transformations taking place in Alaska, the Canadian Arctic territories and Inuit regions, and other Arctic nation-states, provide an opportunity to identify, assess, and challenge the meanings of ‘Arctic Security’ in the 21st century. The program is funded in part by the Minist\u00e8re des relations internationales of the Gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec (MRI) (Website:\u00a0http:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/canada\/quebec\/<\/a>) In addition to this Jo\u0451l will also be giving a lecture entitled \u201cMedia in the Arctic, A Case Study of Canada and Quebec\u201d on March 7th right here at the UW.<\/p>\n

Sophie Hubbell and Adam Akerblom are the Arctic Initiative Interns through the Canadian Studies Center. The Arctic Initiative includes expanding Arctic Studies at the UW.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Funding for the Qu\u00e9bec Visiting Professor Grant and the Qu\u00e9bec Unit Grant are provided by the Government of Qu\u00e9bec,\u00a0United States University Grant Program<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n
