The Arctic world faces enormous interconnected environmental challenges. Climate change, wildlife threats, toxic pollution, human livelihoods and cultural practices – all of these and many more are colliding at a time when the region is also responding to shifting economic, geopolitical, and technological forces. This course will consider the deeper historical nature of these intertwined eco-cultural developments over the past two centuries, giving particular attention to animals and marine life, energy and mining, Indigenous resource strategies and well-being (including exploring Carleton’s Inuit art prints), storytelling and meanings, and ideas and policies focused on conservation, sustainability, and environmental justice.
