CULTURE & LANGUAG DEFINE US I NSTITUTE OF CULTURE, LANGUAGE & HISTORY STANDS AS A CENTRAL DRIVE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND insight into the past, present and future society. The institute contains a number of exciting programs, which each provide unique perspectives about the world: • Department of Culture & Social History • Department of Translation & Interpreting • Department of Language, Litterature & Media • Department of Theology With a strong combination of research and education, we work to purposefully understand and communicate the bountiful cultural legacy, linguistic diversity and the many complex social relations in Greenland and the Arctic - along with a broader global perspective. DIVERSITY IN RESEARCH & EDUCATION Our institute consists of an engaged team of researchers and lecturers, both locally and internationally, which brings a broad palet of experiences and knowledge to the table. The local and international dimension strengthen our research and education, and ensures that our students gain insights in the global, Arctic, Greenlandic and local issues. CULTURE & HISTORY IN FOCUS We do research into Greenlandic culture and history with an emphasis on the cultural and social development through the years - with perspectives from the Arctic. Our studies into Arctic cultural and social history help us to understand how society has developed during different political, social and economics circumstances. This includes both research into national history and into Greenland's setting in the global community. LANGUAGE SERVING AS A BRIDGE BUILDER Communication between people encourages linguistic and cultural understanding. We do research and teach in Greenlandic, Danish and English - and into how written and oral communication between people is created, 38 Shaping the Arctic
