Be sure to explore our featured issue of the Arctic and International Relations Series<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong> This latest issue addresses how Arctic Indigenous people organize economically – a new frontier in international relations.\u00a0Limited hard copies are also available at\u00a0canada@uw.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0our video series,\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong>experts from various disciplines fielded UW students’ questions on issues such as traditional indigenous \u00a0knowledge and law, exploration, geological exploration, climate change, and economic and social development.<\/p>\n

Also featured is a faculty led field study<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0by Dr Fritz Wagner,\u00a0Professor Emeritus in the Department of Urban Design and Planning and an affiliate in the Canadian Studies Program, and also by\u00a0Dr. Regent Cabana, an Affiliate Professor (from New Orleans), in association with the Canadian Studies Program in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. The class explored\u00a0\u00a0three Canadian cities: Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec City and Ottawa.<\/p>\n

Read about our June 2017 workshop, “Sami Role in Arctic Affairs: Politics, Research and Activism,<\/a><\/span><\/strong>” where experts from across the Arctic, many of them \u00a0S\u00e1mi themselves, spoke on reclaiming S\u00e1mi identities, and the struggle for the S\u00e1mi right to survival and well-being.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to scroll down for an essay series<\/a><\/span><\/strong> of articles by scholars and students from UW’s International Policy Institute, which were featured in UW News! This is a 13-part series of blogs exploring aspects of the intergovernmental\u00a0Arctic Council\u00a0as a 21st<\/sup>-century institution.<\/p>\n

While the effects of climate change pose new challenges in the Arctic, melting ice and warmer temperatures also present economic opportunities. In the our podcast from World Policy<\/a><\/span><\/strong> on Air,\u00a0<\/span>Inuuteq Holm Olsen, the first Greenland representative at the Danish embassy in Washington, explains how the semi-autonomous nation is working to balance an emerging tourism industry and natural resource extraction with environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

Also check out a description of a class that began in Winter Quarter 2017, where UW’s\u00a0Professor Bob Pavia taught an\u00a0innovative course<\/a><\/strong> jointly offered by the Honors Program and the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies \u2013 a look at climate change from a truly international perspective. The new course, ARCTIC 391\/JSIS 391\/HONORS 394 Climate Change \u2013 An International Perspective: Science, Art and Activism<\/em>, brought together students from across disciplines including international studies, engineering, political science, environmental design, art, accounting, and biology.<\/p>\n

This program will be offered again in the academic year 2018-2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
