Masculinity, Care, and Environmental Change: Young Men¡¯s Lives in Greenland
The project examines how environmental and societal change affects the lives and identities of young men (18¨C29) in Greenland. Declining subsistence activities such as hunting and fishing, together with urbanisation, colonial legacies, and climate change, are reshaping traditional pathways into adulthood and forms of masculine identity. At the same time, economic restructuring and the expansion of welfare institutions have altered education and labour-market opportunities, leaving some young men facing marginalisation and reduced well-being; the project also includes young fatherhood as part of these life transitions. Using a qualitative multi-sited ethnographic design in Nuuk and Qaqortoq, the study explores how men negotiate masculinity, care, and belonging across everyday life, institutions, and public discourse. By centring young men¡¯s perspectives, the project aims to produce knowledge relevant to gender equality, youth welfare, and policy responses to social and environmental change in the Arctic.

Politics of Green Investments: The Green Transition and Recognition of Colonial Relations in Greenland and S¨¢pmi
The project investigates how the clash between the moral imperative to extract for the green transition and the moral imperative of a reckoning with past and ongoing colonial injustices is negotiated in extractive investments in Greenland and Swedish S¨¢pmi.

VALUE: Value Creation in Critical Raw Mineral and Green Energy Transition Projects
The project explores a core dilemma of the green transition: 真人线上娱乐 need large investments in green energy and mining of critical minerals to combat climate change, but these investments often encroach on land belonging to indigenous and local communities and threaten their livelihoods and identities. Through a study of four very different cases in Greenland and South Africa the research will unpack how, why and by whom social and corporate value is defined and distributed in large green transition investment projects.
