Description | At this research symposium International Policy Institute (IPI) Arctic Fellows, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies (Jackson School), will present their policy papers on the theme of Arctic Indigenous Economies in Inuit Nunangat (Canada) and the Circumpolar World. Following each presentation, a UW expert in the field will provide feedback on the student’s research. The IPI Arctic Fellows are UW graduate students whose research interests include the Arctic. They represent the Jackson School, School of Law, School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, the College of Education, and the Museology program. This fall the IPI Arctic Fellows participated in a seminar on Arctic Indigenous Economies and an all-day-workshop by the same name (sponsored by the Korea Maritime Institute). Over the course of the quarter the IPI Arctic Fellows have explored what it means to the field of international relations that non-nation-state actors – Arctic Indigenous peoples – are increasingly involved in decision shaping for the region. Each Fellow has identified a unique area of research in an effort to bring greater understanding to this phenomenon. The IPI is funded by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York aimed at improving the transfer of research and expertise between higher education and the policy world in the area of global affairs. One of the key pillars of IPI is to train students to engage more effectively with the international policy and decision-making community. This symposium was made possible by funding from the International Policy Institute (supported by funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York), Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies (JSIS); and by the Canadian Studies Center, JSIS (supported by funding from the International and Foreign Language Education Office, U.S. Department of Education).
