Portland State University (Portland, OR) Workshop: Arctic Social Sciences in the 21st Century: Integrating Past, Present, and Future Human Ecodynamics in Arctic Social Science Research. [Feb 7-9] .

The Portland workshop brought together a diverse group of Arctic scholars currently engaged in Arctic social sciences research. Our aim was to generate discussion on a range of related topics including: social sciences research and northern environmental change; the challenges, promise, and future of interdisciplinary research in Arctic contexts; social science research and heritage issues; sustainability; and applied social sciences research. While the majority of attendees are social scientists, some natural sciences researchers also attended to broaden the range of perspectives included in workshop discussions. A special focus of this workshop was on the future of human ecodynamics research in the Arctic.
