Climate change is a potential driver of zoonotic disease threats across the circumpolar North. The use of antimicrobials and the resultant development of resistance to them is becoming a global issue. This session will look at One Health approaches to prioritizing, understanding and managing these problems.

8:30 a.m. KEYNOTE: Emily Jenkins | Department of Veterinary Microbiology, University of Saskatchewan, Canada The Canadian Arctic One Health Network Strong connections among the land, wildlife and people in the North necessitate a One Health approach to address complex challenges at the interface of human, animal and ecosystem health. The North continues to face health disparities and food and water insecurity, and is now experiencing climate change at rates faster and greater than the global average. Infectious diseases will emerge in a future of climate change, and zoonoses (both old and new) continue to pose threats to wildlife and public health. Through a network of researchers and community partners, we monitor, model and mitigate One Health threats, including rabies, foodborne parasites and vector-borne diseases. |

Many if not most of the communities in the circumpolar North are at risk of being food insecure. This is true for both small isolated subsistence communities and larger urban areas. This session will examine these issues through a One Health lens to explore root causes and seek to develop sustainable solutions.

speakers of that day. This gives the students time with the speakers in an environment
where they feel free to ask questions about their talks.
Michael Castellini, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ dean of the graduate school, will lead the meetings along
with a a team of BLaST RAMPs (Research Advising and Mentoring Professionals) who are already trained in student success, career advising and One Health issues.

Education and communication is the foundation for development and success. These speakers will discuss how a One Health approach can be integrated into the K-12 and postsecondary education system to support students throughout the circumpolar North. Science communication doesn’t stop in school, and scientists are often challenged to communicate their findings in ways that lay audiences can understand. Strategies for understanding the challenges and improving communication will be presented in this session. Speakers will also discuss the importance of properly communicating science-related topics among all populations of people.

1:30 p.m. KEYNOTES: Marit Honerod Hoveid | professor, Department of Education and Lifelong Learning, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Halvor Hoveid | professor, Department of Teacher Education, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Sustainable knowledge — Making education meaningful for the next generation What counts as knowledge for students in education? The role education can play in terms of developing a sustainable future has to take into account what counts as knowledge for students. Making education meaningful requires that the knowledge students work with also makes sense for them in their local contexts. This talk will address some epistemological questions in relation to knowledge in education and exemplify with a project that has been developed in math education among Sami students in Finnmark, Norway. We argue that various knowledge forms cannot be ignored in a One Health approach to education. |

(CONCURRENT SESSION)
Many circumpolar residents live lifestyles close to the environment. Many aspects
of this lifestyle promote health, but environmental changes have also increased potential
exposure to contaminants that have been associated with enhanced risk of developing
cancer and chronic diseases. This session will explore what is known about these disease
risks and current biomonitoring for contaminants, and what we still need to learn
about these things.

A co-production of & , tells the gripping but little-known story of George Attla, a charismatic ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native dogsled racer who, with one good leg and fierce determination, became a legendary sports hero in Northern communities around the world.
Part dog whisperer, part canny businessman and part heartthrob, Attla rose to international fame during a unique period of history when Western education, economies, and culture penetrated the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñn village lifestyle and forever changed the state with the discovery of oil in the late 1960s. Spanning his fifty-year long career, the film tells Attla’s story from his childhood as a tuberculosis survivor in the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñn interior, through his rise as ten-time world champion and mythical state hero, to a village elder resolutely training his grandnephew to race his team one last time.
A culture of its own: Hot and Rizin' alt-bluegrass and swing out of Fairbanks, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.
Vocal harmonies and superhero guitar will groove your heart!
