An audio podcast (Prof. Bathsheba Demuth interviewed by Prof. Dagomar Degroot) to learn about environmental and climate-related changes in the Arctic, the history of capitalism and communism across the Bering Strait, and the unique ecological characteristics and economic ideologies in the Arctic that would be of interest to environmental historians.
Students will learn about climate-related changes in the Arctic—such as higher temperatures in the summer, changing snowfall patterns, shift in caribou migration patterns—and the possible consequences for the indigenous communities living in the region. They will also understand the differences in the economic ideologies between the Arctic and temperate regions.
