The North

The University of Aberdeen is launching a new, cross-disciplinary research theme on The North which will place the institution at the forefront of research throughout the northern circumpolar regions.

The North has been adopted as a strategic priority by the University and is an area in which the institution is already achieving world-class distinction, across a range of disciplines in all three Colleges.

The theme will be led by Professor Tim Ingold, of the Department of Anthropology, and will bring together researchers from a wide range of subjects ranging from archaeology to medicine.

Four major research projects based on The North will commence in the autumn of 2012. These are:

• Fragility, Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in the North
• The Northern Temperament: Investigating the Communication of Emotions in Northern  Cultures
• Northern Colonialism: Historical Connections, Contemporary Lives
• Pathways to Power: The Rise of Early Medieval Kingdoms of the North
