Watch the videos, one in English and the other in French, made by the communication service of UVSQ on the university’s Youtube channel.
The Arctic Congress 2024 was a unique event that combined the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS) XI, UArctic Congress 2024, and High North Dialogue 2024. The congress took place from 29 May to 3 June 2024in Bodø, Norway, hosted by Nordland Research Institute and Nord University.
The congress gave the opportunity to share knowledge during high-level plenary sessions, several parallel sessions, network activities, and social and cultural events.
Like Benjamin Fergusson (MIARC) observed, “Just being here in the Arctic is just such a fantastic thing.”
MIARC organized the UArctic Thematic Network ARCH’s session “Writing and visualising the Arctic: travel writing, Indigenous life stories and historical sources, 18th-21st century”, convened by MIARC’s director Jan Borm and Jun.-Full Prof. Joanna Kodzik, with contributions by Bergur D. Hansen, Peter Sköld, Ilona Kivinen, Benjamin Fergusson and Joanna Kodzik.
