DESCRIPTION: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 liv
 ing laboratory of such accelerated climate change\, but Svalbard’s human
  history has generated social\, aesthetic\, and political change for centu
 ries. Join this interdisciplinary conversation as we explore the dynamic s
 ocial\, geopolitical\, and cultural forces transforming this unique and co
 smopolitan 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).  \n\n
 Join Michael Bravo of the University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research I
 nstitute and Adriana Craciun of Boston University's Frederick S. Pardee Ce
 nter for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and  for an interdisciplinar
 y conversation\n\nRegistration link: https://www.bu.edu/pardee/research/th
