Recently published book is the first multidisciplinary volume presenting original research on Arctic youth.

Young People, Wellbeing and Placemaking in the Arctic
edited By Florian Stammler (Arctic Centre University of Lapland) and Reetta Toivanen
(University of Helsinki) presents the results of two research projects on youth
wellbeing and senses of place in the Arctic region.

Sustainability of Arctic settlements depends a lot on whether or not young
people see such places as offering opportunities for a good life. In the book
several authors explore what a good future looks like for young people in the Arctic
region.

The book is focusing especially on the diverse avenues
that youth pursue to achieve a good life in the Arctic. The contributions also show
which social, economic, political and legal conditions provide the best frame for
youth agency in Arctic settlements. All in all, the book introduces the Arctic as a
place for opportunities, the realization of life trajectories and young people’s
images of home.

The book is intended for all interested in
anthropology, political science, Arctic urban studies, youth studies, Arctic social
sciences and humanities in general.
