The Portland workshop wrapped up earlier this week and was a great success.  Video, PowerPoints, and other workshop materials will be posted to the website in the coming weeks.  Workshop participants discussed the Changing Arctic (see this post) and then focused on the following questions:

How has Arctic social science changed in the last 20 years?  Why do these changes matter to social sciences, the broader scientific community, and to society at large?

What is the future of Arctic social sciences?  What key questions remain unanswered regarding integrated social and social-ecological systems in the Arctic that require concerted research effort in the next 10-15 years?

What are your thoughts on the broader impact of Arctic social science and the future of Arctic social science?  Please share in the comments below.
