Um námskeiðið

This course centers on different future scenarios regarding the Arctic. Different stakeholder groups, their views and interests in the Arctic will be presented and discussed. Pressing themes, such as minority and indigenous rights, resource use and extraction, political development and international cooperation will be explored through theories and methodologies such as strategic foresight and strategic impact assessments (SIA). Students will thus be equipped with the ability to develop critical thinking about ongoing economic, political and social changes and their implications. The course will draw on existing academic outputs and apply practical ‘tools-based’ exercises.

Kennari

Adam Stepien:

is a political scientist working at the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland. In his research, he focuses on Arctic governance, and in particular on the role of the European Union in the Arctic. Adam also deals with indigenous politics and regional development in northern peripheries. He has participated in a number of policy support and advisory projects, where the future of the Arctic is often being considered. 

As my course has a format of a workshop, it was of particular value for me that students had much personal experience and knowledge on a broad variety of issues relevant for Arctic communities, allowing them to learn from each other and making the course very enjoyable for the teacher.
