The University of Oulu recently launched its Arctic Summer Programme: a series of two-week courses for international students that explore the Arctic region through lectures, discussions, and practical experiences in Northern Finland.
This week, I taught two lectures on Indigenous notions of sustainability and human–resource relations in the Arctic to a mixed group from two courses: Arctic and Nordic Perspectives on Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education. The students ranged from Bachelor’s to advanced Master’s level, with backgrounds from education to engineering and nursing – an inspiring but challenging mix.
