Historical Legacies & Arctic Imaginaries | Anna Boberg & Arctic Landscapes

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Learn about Norwegian glacial art history and Arctic imaginaries through the economic and landscape legacies of Svalbard.

In 2021, a coalition of organizations including The Arctic Institute, Women in Polar Sciences, and Women of the Arctic are organizing a webinar series, Breaking the Ice Ceiling, to illuminate polar research by those who identify as women and to foster discussion on systemic change in polar sciences (Indigenous, natural, and social sciences) to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this webinar, you will learn from Dr. Isabelle Gapp about Anna Boberg and the Arctic glacial landscape and Dina Brode-Roger about historical legacies, the Arctic imaginary, and social science research in the Arctic.
