The Arctic is warming four times faster than anywhere else on Earth, as a recent article in Nature confirmed (Rantanen et al, Aug. 11, 2022). The High Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is often invoked as a living laboratory of such accelerated climate change, but Svalbard’s human history has generated social, aesthetic, and political change for centuries. Join this interdisciplinary conversation as we explore the dynamic social, geopolitical, and cultural forces transforming this unique and cosmopolitan place now and into the future. Our speakers include the authors and editors of two major new books: Zdenka Sokolíčková, author of The Paradox of Svalbard: Climate Change and Globalisation in the Arctic (2023), and Mathias Albert, Dina Brode-Roger, and Lisbeth Iverson, editors of Svalbard Imaginaries: The Making of an Arctic Archipelago (2023).

Join Michael Bravo of the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute and Adriana Craciun of Boston University’s Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and for an interdisciplinary conversation
