Objective(s): To understand the creative new learning models evolving in Inuit culture;
Project Description: The study concerns processes of learning in an Inuit community today. It will focus on various learning settings (e.g. land, settlement, school) and groups of learners (e.g. adults learning new skills, school students). Special attention will be given to two features of the ongoing cultural brokerage between Inuit and western models of learning -- native educator roles and bridging language forms.
