ISER Lunchtime Talk: 'Resources, Arctic Communities, and Sustainability: Toward a New Relationship,' May 31
by Michelle Saport |
Friday, May 31, 12-1 p.m. Diplomacy Building, Fifth Floor, Conference Room
The Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) is hosting Chris Southcott, Ph.D., of Lakehead University in Ontario, for the next installment of their lunchtime talk series. Southcott will discuss the initial findings of the Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic project, which is bringing together researchers and community representatives from northern Canada and other circumpolar areas to identify potential ways of improving the well-being of northern communities affected by Arctic resource development. Past resource development in the Arctic often created social and economic challenges for northern communities but provided little benefit for them. Southcott is leading this international project.
Parking is free. Call (907) 786-7710 for directions.
