The UAF Center for Arctic Policy Studies, Arctic and Northern Studies Program and Center for Cross Cultural Studies are hosting a webinar on Indigenous self-determination and gender justice in the Arctic with Rauna Kuokkanen. Registration is closed to attend the event on Monday, April 4 at 11 a.m. 

 

Kuokkanen is a Fulbright Arctic Initiative Fellow and a research professor at the Arctic Indigenous Studies, University of Lapland.  Her research highlights the importance of human security and addresses it specifically in terms of justice in Indigenous political institutions. Kuokkanen's most recent book is the award-winning "Restructuring relations: Indigenous self-determination, governance and gender." It provides an Indigenous feminist investigation of Indigenous self-determination, governance and gender regimes in Indigenous political institutions. She also authored a book on Indigenizing the university. "Reshaping the University: responsibility, Indigenous epistemes and the logic of the gift" develops an Indigenous, post-structural critique of the contemporary university.

 

This is the first of an inaugural series of webinars on human security in the Arctic hosted by the Center for Arctic Policy Studies and the Arctic and Northern Studies Program.
