olitical will: it’s needed in order to make things happen. Without political will it is difficult to create change. As a Jane Glassco Northern Fellow I am researching how a university in Canada’s North can finally come to fruition. With our geographical and Northern political reality, I believe a Northern university would need to be a multi-campus, much like the University of Alaska Fairbanks model. I also know that other circumpolar university models have structures and lessons to share with the North. Northern campuses should include: the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut — as long as all jurisdictions work together to achieve this goal. The need for a university in the North has been researched for decades. Kelly Black, a PhD candidate at Carleton University’s School of Canadian Studies with the Institute of Political Economy, wrote a forthcoming paper, Tracing the Idea of a Northern University: Competing Visions for Post-Secondary Education in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, 1945-1999. He presented this paper on May 24 at the 8th meeting of the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences in Prince George, British Columbia. September/October 2014
