The Arctic Institute conference "Polar (In)Securities: The Future of Global Affairs in the Circumpolar North"
From Wednesday 08 June 2022
To Friday 10 June 2022
Location Online

The Arctic Institute is putting on a virtual conference in June and is currently accepting abstract submissions.

Conference title: Polar (In)Securities: The Future of Global Affairs in the Circumpolar North
Dates: 8 - 10 June, 2022

The Arctic Institute (TAI) proudly celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2021. Our mission is to help inform Arctic policy in the context of the climate crisis, and we believe that circumpolar decision-making must be based on interdisciplinary, inclusive research. As we begin our second decade, we see an opportunity to broaden our mission, and proudly announce our first conference with traditional paper presentations, scenario workshops, and special sessions.

The climate crisis destabilizes traditional understandings of security in the Arctic. Many conferences and scholars have produced invaluable scholarship that seeks to understand how climate change affects security, regional development, and social and Indigenous welfare in the Arctic. We choose to upend the narrative by reframing our central question. How will global developments affect the circumpolar north? We offer graduate students and early career scholars a call for papers to address this question by applying different forms of security studies on global issues that affect the circumpolar north.

We welcome university students and early career scholars who seek to cultivate new networks and interdisciplinary conversations related to Arctic scholarship. We welcome submissions on topics such as (but not limited to): Arctic studies, Indigenous knowledge, global affairs, international relations, political science, security studies, history, economics, anthropology, sociology, public administration, and legal studies. The outcomes of the roundtable discussions and special sessions will be summarised in a report on The Arctic Institute’s website.

The deadline for abstracts for Day 1 is March 10, 2022. Please submit an anonymous abstract of up to 400 words (in PDF form) here: https://forms.gle/Lmbhfx126EB1o33E8. When filling in the form, we kindly ask you to register your interest for participating in Day 2 and Day 3. Those with accepted paper proposals must submit a full draft to The Arctic Institute on May 31, 2022. Please note, there is a registration fee of 15 USD for presenters and workshop participants and 20 USD for audience members. Proceedings of the conference will be published later this year.
