How the media frames Arctic mining as a rush
Evolving governance of Central Arctic Ocean resources: The role of BRICS countries
The Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) faces new governance dynamics as the expanded BRICS bloc projects its influence over it. This study assesses the BRICS nations’ potential interests and capabilities in CAO natural resource governance. Shifting geopolitical alignments, particularly Russia’s distancing from Western-led mechanisms, have opened new spaces for BRICS engagement in the CAO, which represents an example of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction …
Waiting as a frontier: (Un)making patients for uterus transplantation in Denmark
Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an emerging frontier in reproductive medicine, that offers women born without a uterus the possibility of gestation through transplantation. While clinical programs are being established elsewhere, UTx remains unavailable in Denmark, where it has existed for nearly a decade as an anticipated yet inaccessible option. Based on in-depth interviews conducted between 2023 and 2025, this article explores experiences of w…
Geopolitics of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in the Arctic: Study of evolving strategic, scholar, and media discourse
Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are essential for green energy technologies and defense systems, yet global supply chains remain concentrated in China. This has intensified geopolitical competition for alternative sources, positioning the Arctic as a strategic frontier, as retreating ice exposes mineral deposits. A comprehensive discourse analysis of strategic documents, scholarly literature, and media sources from 2010 to 2025 reveals a dramatic shif…
Just smart? The comparative analysis of smart initiatives in North America and Nordic countries
Health in data space: Formative and experiential dimensions of cross-border health data sharing
Healthcare is increasingly datafied, and a wide range of actors-patients, clinicians, administrators, policymakers, and industry lobbyists-want to be able to exchange and access health data internationally and use them for an increasing number of purposes. Therefore, competing initiatives aimed at fostering international data integration proliferate, with the proposed European Health Data Space as one of the most prominent examples. But how do le…
Reverse-Engineering Touch: Sense-Making and Making Sense with Prosthetic Neurostimulation
At the frontier of research in neuroprosthetic limb technology, experimenters are developing systems for sensory feedback (prosthetic touch). Drawing upon two years of ethnographic fieldwork chronicling neuroprosthetic clinical trials, I interpret neurostimulation experiments as a reverse-engineering: in which efforts to engineer sensory feedback recursively inform basic scientific understanding about touch itself. In this article, I analyse reve…
Norwegian and Russian settlements on Svalbard: An analysis of demographic and socio-economic trends
The Svalbard archipelago is a centre of global research on climate change and also an example of a rapidly changing Arctic area with tourism replacing the traditional mining industry. We compared the different development paths of the Norwegian (Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund) and Russian settlements (Barentsburg and Pyramida) on Spitsbergen as part of the Svalbard archipelago using demographic and socio-economic data until 2022 when available, but …
The datafication of pain: Trials and tribulations in measuring phantom limb pain
Reterritorialization of the Body: Ethnographies of Emergent Biotechnologies
The Transplant Imaginary: Mechanical Hearts, Animal Parts, and Moral Thinking in Highly Experimental Science ,by Lesley A. Sharp; New Organs Within Us: Transplants and the Moral Economy, by Aslihan Sanal; and Phantom Limb: Amputation, Embodiment, and Prosthetic Technology, by Cassandra S. Crawford, are reviewed
The Community Earth System Model (Cesm) Large Ensemble Project: A Community Resource for Studying Climate Change in the Presence of Internal Climate Variability
While internal climate variability is known to affect climate projections, its influence is often underappreciated and confused with model error. Why? In general, modeling centers contribute a small number of realizations to international climate model assessments [e.g., phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5)]. As a result, model error and internal climate variability are difficult, and at times impossible, to disentangle. I…
