Circumpolar Studies

The UArctic network promotes a multidisciplinary approach to learning about the Circumpolar North, that includes the understanding of its lands, seas and environments; peoples and cultures; and the contemporary issues facing the region. Circumpolar North regions share many similarities in their environment and socio-economic histories.

UArctic’s member institutions offer a wide variety of northern-relevant programs and courses that you can discover through the Study Catalogue. As an UArtic member institution, Algoma University students will have an opportunity to learn and research with thematic networks of researchers that funcion through UArtic.

Themes of study include:

• Indigenous peoples, their cultures, languages and political aspirations
• Climate change and its impacts
• Natural resources and extractive industry economies
• International relations and geo-politics
• Ecology, northern ecosystems and biology
