The research group is affiliated at the Faculty of Languages of the Univesity of Gdańsk. We deal with the cultural, social and political changes in the broadly defined Northern Europe, the Baltic Sea region and the Arctic. Our research addresses current and past changes taking place in these parts of Europe and the world. We make use of the theoretical and methodological toolbox typical for a number of disciplines in humanities and social sciences that are represented by the collaborating researchers. Our activities include organization of conferences, procuring research funding, and generating individual and collective publications that contribute to spreading specialist and popular research-based knowledge about our areas of interest.
The group consists of researchers from the University of Gdańsk (Faculty of Languages) and from Maria Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin (Faculty of Political Science).
