UArctic Chair on Images, Perceptions and Mediations of the Arctic
UArctic Chair on Images, Perceptions and Mediations of the Arctic aims to study, through a comparative, multilingual, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approach, the various cultural and social representations of and about the Arctic. The chair relies on the infrastructure of the International Laboratory for Research on Images of the North, Winter and the Arctic, founded in 2003 by Professor Chartier. This laboratory serves as an infrastructure for research, dissemination, publication, expertise, and cooperation to establish contacts between all Arctic cultures (with past and ongoing funded research projects involving Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland), as well as with Arctic communities and Indigenous organizations (Inuit, Innu, Greenlandic, Atikamekw, and Sámi).
