Since 2012, the Arctic Yearbook has served as a platform for independent analysis of Circumpolar politics and governance. Over the past decade, the context in which Arctic knowledge is produced has changed rapidly. Climate change is accelerating, major powers are becoming more confrontational, people have less room to express dissent in some countries, and information is increasingly shaped by technology, reshaping not only the subjects we study, but also who is able to speak about them. In this environment, we must also challenge the exclusions and assumptions built into the academic systems that determine who is recognised as a credible contributor, and who is not.
