Poster made for the exhibition Melting Barricades (2004-05) in collaboration with Inuk Silis Høegh ii Acknowledgements I doubt, that I had written this thesis if Kjetil Rommetveit had not been my supervisor. Well, maybe I had, but it would have been much more boring. Kjetil, thanks for many inspiring, confusing and enlightening talks, and for your enthusiasm which pushed this thesis forward. I dedicate the thesis to Astrid, Vetle, Frej and Ludo. How could I have managed (anything) without you? Thanks to the five persons who where interviewed and to the many other interesting persons I spoke to informally. Thanks to the people at Region and regionalisering for interesting seminars and talks. Thanks to Roger Strand or his colleagues at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities at the University of Bergen. You have been very kind to include me in the activities there and letting me ask stupid questions. Thanks to all my neighbors at Medås, whom it has been a great experience living with. This does not include the Zetor tractor. Thanks to Solveig, Helene, Henrik and Astrid for correcting my danglish and for giving me your valuable help and comments. Thanks to Asmund for the cover illustration. Thanks to Svein, Heidi, Øyvind, Stina and Hanne for your company and hospitality in Bergen. Big hugs to family and friends. All clear!

  • Inuit Self-Determination and Postsecondary Education: the Case of Nunavut and Greenland
    Inuit self-determination and postsecondary education: The case of Nunavut and Greenland by Olga Patricia Gaviria A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Higher Education Department of Leadership Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Olga Patricia Gaviria 2013 Inuit self-determination and postsecondary education: The case of Nunavut and Greenland Olga Patricia Gaviria Doctor of Philosophy, Higher Education Department of Leadership Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract With Inuit identifying as a people beyond nation-state boundaries, and Nunavummiut and Greenlanders as citizens of Canada and Denmark, the right to self-determination has followed distinct trajectories in the jurisdictions examined in my thesis. Nunavut has a constitutional mandate to be responsive to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, paradoxically intensifying the relationships with the federal government towards further devolution and maintaining an ethnic divide trespassing territorial lines. Envisioning statehood, Greenland has chosen to gradually break economic ties with Denmark and in mainstreaming its governance capacity it appears to be branching off ethnocentric policies. In what seem opposing pathways, autonomous postsecondary education institutions are positioned to mitigate the notional extremes the right to self-determination calls upon. By comparing institutions steering through conflicting missions, this thesis illustrates the ways in which the right to self-determination operates against the backdrop of regained geopolitical prominence of the Arctic Region. Applying a legal theoretical framework to the scholarship of indigenous education this thesis raises a number of issues in carrying forward the right to self-determination once indigenous peoples regain control over their destinies.

Furthermore the anthology provides samples of analyses – including comparative and contextual studies – that can be accomplished using SLiCA data. Examples of living conditions and topics anlysed are: ’suicidal thoughts’; impacts of oil development on living conditions and quality of life; economic stratification; objective and subjective living conditions; education; gender based differences in productive activities; impacts of societal development on men’s and women’s perceptions of their contributions to their households; factors affecting migration, identity, ethnicity, and herding rights.
