Research network for northern scholars - social sciences, humanities
Written by Louise Huffman
A new listserv is being created to facilitate the exchange of information among graduate students conducting research on the circumpolar North in the social sciences and humanities. Those with interests in environmental history are particularly encouraged to participate. The listserv will provide the means for building professional relationships, communicating funding and conference news, sharing resources, and facilitating dialogue on the unique challenges of northern research among young scholars. Participation by researchers in all fields of the humanities and social sciences is welcome. If you are interested, please contact the coordinator Brad Martin.
