The Center for Arctic Policy Studies and the Arctic and Northern Studies Program, in coordination with the Center for Cross-Cultural Studies, present the first of an inaugural series of webinars on Human Security in the Arctic. This webinar, titled Indigenous Self-Determination and Gender Justice in the Arctic and featuring Visiting Arctic Fulbright Fellow Rauna Kuokkanen, will take place Monday, 4 April 2022 at 11:00 a.m. AKDT (3:00 p.m. EDT, 19:00 UTC).
Dr. Rauna Kuokkanen is a Research Professor of Arctic Indigenous Studies at the University of Lapland and Fulbright Arctic Initiative Fellow. Her research highlights the importance of human security and addresses it specifically in terms of justice in Indigenous political institutions. Dr. Kuokkanen's most recent book is the award-winning Restructuring Relations: Indigenous Self-Determination, Governance and Gender (Oxford UP, 2019), an Indigenous feminist investigation of Indigenous self-determination, governance, and gender regimes in Indigenous political institutions. She has also authored a book on Indigenizing the university, Reshaping the University: Responsibility, Indigenous Epistemes and the Logic of the Gift (2007), that develops an Indigenous, post-structural critique of the contemporary university.
