Unfreezing the Arctic: Historical Perspectives on Arctic Futures

This fall's Center for Polar Studies lecture at Augustana will examine the Arctic's histories of science and colonialism in light of current thinking on climate change.

Dr. Andrew Stuhl, assistant professor of environmental studies at Bucknell University, will give the talk, "Unfreezing the Arctic: Historical Perspectives on Arctic Futures."

Dr. Stuhl is the author of "Unfreezing the Arctic: Science, Colonialism, and the Transformation of Inuit Lands," and of several articles, essays, and book chapters on Arctic environmental history and contemporary Arctic affairs. As part of his research, he spent two years living and working in the Arctic town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories. 

The Center for Polar Studies promotes and supports polar research and scholarship at Augustana and in the broader academic community.
