The International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA) invites abstracts for the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS X). This meeting will be held 15-19 June 2021 on the campus of Northern (Arctic) Federal University in Arkhangelsk, Russia.
In 2020 ICASS X was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ICASS X is being planned as hybrid event with both in-person and online participation. However, the exact format will depend on the COVID-19 situation. Registration fees will be announced and registration is expected to open in January.
IASSA is now seeking paper and poster abstracts. ICASS will welcome papers and posters on all facets of the Arctic and Sub-Arctic. And, as always, ICASS will also welcome contributions on all other subjects of relevance to IASSA members. All submissions should be in English. All abstracts will be peer reviewed. Notifications of acceptance will be sent in late January.
ICASS X's theme is Arctic Generations: Looking Back and Looking Forward. Research on social sciences and humanities have a great responsibility to address the challenges for sustainable development in the Arctic, with a specific focus on past, present, and future generations of Arctic residents. The generational nature of changes and responses have lately become more recognized by many policy makers and researchers. A focus on generations highlights the long-term, fundamental nature and scope of changes, impacts, and adaptation strategies. Another focus of ICASS X is Indigenous knowledge and inter- and transdisciplinary research in the Arctic.
Organizers encourage the participation of Indigenous peoples, northern residents, and decision-makers, as well as academics, so that ICASS X provides a rich environment in which to advance discussions on sustainabilities in the Arctic and the North and on other Northern matters.
