The Arctic Environmental Humanities Workshop Series is a collaboration between the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University's Pardee School of Global Studies and the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. The series brings together the diverse expertise of humanistic scholars, artists, and researchers for a series of virtual presentations and conversations about Arctic issues.

This event, which took place on September 1, 2020, featured Dolly Jørgensen, a historian of the environment and technology at the University of Stavanger, Norway. Her work focuses on how human technologies shape the world around us and how we come to understand what is “natural” and what is not, with particular attention to human-animal relations.
