UArctic News: Teaching Arctic Environments & Circumpolar Studies Curriculum

Teaching Arctic Environments, led by Dr Isabelle Gapp (University of Aberdeen) and Dr Jonathan Peyton (University of Manitoba), was recently featured in a news article outlining a recent project from Dr Heather Nicol (Trent University) to bolster UArctic’s Circumpolar Studies Curriculum. Further to our Scottish Government Arctic Connections Fund award from 2023-24 we were fortunate to receive additional seed-funding through our partnership with Nadine Fabbi (University of Washington).

Our partnership with the University of Washington, who were in turn part of Trent University’s larger Circumpolar Studies project, helped support Series 1 of Teaching Arctic Environments which featured faculty and graduate students from the University of Washington, Manitoba, and Aberdeen. With our continued shared goals towards developing visually-oriented educational boxes to engage students in the breadth and depth of Arctic environments, we look forward to the future of Circumpolar Studies within UArctic and beyond.
