Prof. Kamrul Hossain moderated a session at the Rovaniemi Arctic Spirit Conference 2023!
Prof.
Kamrul Hossain moderated a session entitled “Message from the Inter-Polar
Conference: Connecting the Arctic with the Third Pole” at the 2023 Rovaniemi Arctic
Spirit Conference. The session was organized by the UArctic Chair in Arctic
Legal Research and Education and the UArctic Law Thematic Network, in
collaboration with the Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law of
the Arctic Centre. The session discussed the process, content, outcome,
limitations and challenges, and achievements of the Inter-Polar Conference
organized in September 2023 in Kathmandu. In the session, panelists were Mr.
Markku Heikkilä, the head of science communication at the Arctic Centre, Mr. Albert
van Wijngaarden, a doctoral candidate at Cambridge University, Dr. Marlene
Payva Almonte, a senior researcher at the Arctic Centre, and Ms Zhanna
Anshukova, a Doctoral candidate at the University of Lapland. As they actively
participated in the Kathmandu conference, the panelists shared their
experiences with a sizeable audience and highlighted the importance of mutual
learning and gaining first-hand knowledge. Given that the conference attracted
scholars, including young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers from the Third
Pole region, it created a platform of interactions among scholars from the
Arctic and the Third Pole. They highlighted the under-representation of social
and human science research when it comes to linking the two regions.
Discussions ended up with the need for its continuation in a more focused and
coordinated manner.
