Soziologie

„Worldviews of Ice“ (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-25945-5) takes its readers on a journey beyond the boundaries between Arctic science and politics. From the research funding landscapes in Canada, Germany and Norway („Preparing Science) and the basic research carried out by glaciologists and permafrost experts („Doing Science“) to the multiple knowledge translations at the Arctic Council („Bringing Science to Politics“) the authors inquire into the circle of Arctic knowledge production. In the end, the Arctic emerges as the result of manifold narratives and worldviews driven by deep uncertainties. The book is the result of a three-year research project led by Mathias Albert and Holger Straßheim, carried out together with Svenja Holste, Daniela Portella Sampaio as well as Mikko von Bremen and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
