Panel Title: New insights for a New Arctic? Critical Arctic Studies in practice
Panel Description: A transforming Arctic region demands greater critical engagement, perhaps more than ever before. Between accelerating environmental and social change, recent geopolitical evolutions and ever-moving debates surrounding the role of science, the new generation of scholars is facing increasingly complex considerations in its work. Could critical approaches be an answer? In this panel, early career scholars discuss their PhD projects, including the significance of critical approaches and insights to their research aims, design and/or methods.
