The The crowded and empty Arctic

We, as four foreign researchers with research commitments in Kiruna, Sweden, reflexively examine the imaginaries of Kiruna as either empty or crowded while problematizing the Arctic as a homogenous region. While our scholarly interests (mining, space, education, transport infrastructure) and discipl...
