12th International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS XII)

The Arctic is rapidly changing because of climate change, but also because of constitutional and political change. The region has also become a hot spot within great geopolitical power rivalry in recent years. It is also 50 years since Indigenous Peoples’ movements were included in international collaboration through the United Nations and other fora. Indigenous Peoples have their own stories to tell. ICASS XII bring scholars, academics, students, policymakers, politicians and others, who have an interest in Arctic issues together to discuss, elaborate and come up with solutions for future endeavours in and beyond the Arctic.  

ICASS XII welcome papers, panels and sessions from a broad range of topical issues that affect the Arctic. Identified themes will come from various disciplines within social sciences. Issues about social affairs, geopolitical matters, economic development, environmental issues, indigenous rights and many other themes will connect researchers and practitioners at ICASS XII.

The congress will be held in the Katuaq Cultural Center and Hotel Hans Egede in Nuuk.
