Introduction to the Circumpolar World: Module 1
This module introduces students to a course, called The Circumpolar World, and to the interdisciplinary study of this fascinating part of the globe. After a brief explanation of the six major learning objectives, the module goes on to describe the approach taken in the course, an approach that emphasizes that while the circumpolar north has often been viewed as a distant, exotic place, it can also be viewed more intimately, more familiarly. The module then introduces one of the course's key learning aids, a map of the region, and then defines some of the terms used to refer to the world's northernmost places. After covering some of the historical forces that have shaped the region and its peoples, the module concludes with a discussion of what interdisciplinary study is and why it is so important.
