The International Arctic Research Center and the College of Rural and Community Development are co-hosting a virtual seminar series called A Place for Knowledge Exchange. These monthly conversations cover collaborative approaches to research, education and real-life community-based practices in rural Alaska.

January’s seminar focuses on the local implications of food security/insecurity. Speakers include Eva Dawn Burk, from IARC, Carrie Stevens, from CRCD, and Vernae Angnaboogok, from Inuit Circumpolar Council-Alaska.
