The International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA) announces the 10th International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS X) to be held 15-19 June 2021on the campus of Northern (Arctic) Federal University, in Arkhangelsk, Russia. At this time, ICASS X is planned as an in-person event, but other formats will be considered if necessary.
ICASS X's theme is Arctic Generations: Looking Back and Looking Forward. Research on social sciences and humanities have a great responsibility to address the challenges for sustainable development in the Arctic, with a specific focus on past, present, and future generations of Arctic residents. The generational nature of changes and responses have lately become more recognized by many policy makers and researchers. A focus on generations highlights the long-term, fundamental nature and scope of changes, impacts, and adaptation strategies. Another focus of ICASS X is Indigenous knowledge and inter- and transdisciplinary research in the Arctic.
ICASS will welcome sessions and papers on all facets of the Arctic and sub-Arctic. ICASS will also welcome contributions on all other subjects of relevance to IASSA members.
Proposals should include session title, name of organizer(s), complete contact information for a corresponding organizer, and a brief description of the session (150 words). Indicate a theme where the proposed session fits the best. General ideas on sessions will also be accepted via email to golosove [at] uni.edu. Submissions must be in English.
Some travel funding may be available on competitive basis.
