The Læra Institute was established, in part, to provide stewardship for the shared Circumpolar Studies curriculum by bringing together the people, ideas, and resources needed to keep it current, engaging, and reflective of the best of contemporary circumpolar scholarship. We encourage those who have helped shape Circumpolar Studies over the past two decades to join us to talk about what today's students should be learning. In the consultations, we will reflect on the strengths of the existing curriculum, consider how the curriculum should respond to changes in both the region and the field, and explore how Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing can be woven more fully throughout the courses.
We hope these conversations will encourage new collaborations and, over time, create opportunities to share ideas, teaching experiences, and emerging scholarship—including through initiatives such as the institute's Circumpolar Studies Annual. We hope to support teams to develop new course materials for the UArctic network. Subject to funding, modest honoraria may be available for contributors who participate in subsequent curriculum development.
Join us for one of these two meetings depending upon your time zone and preference:
- 10:00 am–11:00 am. Eastern Daylight Time (16:00 to 17:00 pm CET) on August 24, and
- 2pm to 3 pm Eastern Daylight Time ( 20:00 to 21:00 CET) on August 25.
