[Biostudent] Canadian Studies has two exciting course options for Winter 2023.

[Biology Advising]

ARCTIC 220/HSTCMP 220: At the Top of the World: Arctic Histories <https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ARCTIC220> (5 cr.) 
M/W, 10:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m., Elena Campbell <https://jsis.washington.edu/canada/people/elena-campbell/>, Associate Professor, Department of History
This course explores the history of human understanding of and relationship to the Arctic by tracing the social, economic, political, and environmental transformations of the Earth’s northernmost region, during the period from the earliest settlements to the end of the 20th century (the creation of the Arctic Council in 1996), as well as the shifts in ideas that accompany these changes.

ARCTIC 498/SCAND 490: Literatures of the Arctic: Unsettling Encounters and Cultures of Resilience <https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ARCTIC498> (5 cr.)
T/Th, 12:30-2:20 p.m., Andy Meyer <https://jsis.washington.edu/canada/people/andy-meyer/>, Scandinavian Studies
This course will serve as a study of the way both Arctic communities and outsiders, Indigenous cultures and colonial cultures, have represented the Far North in their literatures. With an origin in the Scandinavian Arctic, students will study primary and secondary texts from a range of perspectives across the circumpolar North. Texts and films in the course will be drawn from Sámi, Norwegian, Inuit, and colonial North American traditions, including Sámi artists Nils-Aslak Valkeapää and Nils Gaup, Norwegian explorer and scientist Fridtjof Nansen, Grenlandic-Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen, Inuit artists Zacharias Kunuk, Zebedee Nungak, Tanya Tagaq, and others. The course will consider the various ways Arctic literatures engage issues like environmental health, colonialism, and cultural identity, resilience, and imagination.


**Both courses count towards the interdisciplinary Arctic Studies minor <https://jsis.washington.edu/canada/programs/arctic-studies-minor/>.
