Description
Grounded in Indigenous perspectives and lived experiences, the collection offers a timely exploration of the “living Fennoscandian Arctic,” where environments, infrastructures, and communities are deeply interconnected. It advances new ways of understanding agency, responsibility, and ethics. Bringing together innovative interdisciplinary research, it shows how these relationships shape knowledge, values, and everyday practices under conditions of rapid environmental change. The contributions challenge conventional accounts of the Arctic and open new ways of thinking about life, knowledge, and responsibility in northern environments.
