It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticise various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney's Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos, and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analysed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity. Læs mere

Greenland and Canada are experiencing more rapid warming than the global average. Climate resilience is thus of great importance and climate change needs to be taught to foster innovations and adaptation and to prepare young citizens to be engaged participants in policy debates about mitigation. Forty-five PSTs at the University of Greenland and Lakehead University answered a survey comprised mainly Likert Scale and open-ended questions. We found that PSTs need more knowledge about climate change, while, across disciplines, almost all would like to teach climate change and believe that preparing to do so should be a part of initial teacher education.

Med afsæt i et litteraturstudie og en inspiration fra nordcanadisk forskning i hjemløshed blandt kvinder analyseres situationen i Nuuk. Vi inddrager empiri fra et længerevarende feltarbejde i Nuuk og med interviews omkring kvindernes situation fra kilder i miljøet. I artiklen problematiseres det, at det offentlige sociale system forekommer meget lidt forberedt på, at Nuuk i dag har over 200 borgere, som er ramt af hjemløshed. Der eksisterer ikke indtil i dag et særskilt fokus på kvinderne i denne situation. Kvinder er blandt andet omfattet af begrebet “skjult hjemløshed”, som hidtil har været anvendt i begrænset omfang i den offentlige debat. I artiklen viser vi blandt andet, at man dels har kendt til hjemløshed i flere årtier – også til kvindernes hjemløshed. Kvindernes manglende stemme i socialpolitikken kan hænge sammen med, at kvindekampen i Grønland er gået lidt i dvale. Artiklen afrundes med strategiforslag til en mulig videre proces med inspiration fra nordcanadiske tiltag. Læs mere
