Happy December! I'm excited to share three publications that dropped last week (and today) that have been in process for some time, and I'm thrilled that they are all out in the world and, more importantly, open-access!

“When we talk about climate change, when we talk about geopolitical competition, the Arctic isn’t just by itself. We can’t take it out of the world and remove it from everything that is happening,” said @ggricius.bsky.social with the Rocky Mountain Collegian collegian.com/articles/fea...

Grateful to @ggricius.bsky.social for her presentation on the EU's "never again" Arctic narrative. Her expertise brought complex geopolitical strategies to life, showing students how EU external action works beyond traditional frameworks. #EUForeignPolicy #ArcticPolicy #sciencePoRennes

Really excited for this webinar! Make sure to sign up for October 7 at 8am PT

In case you missed last week, @ggricius.bsky.social and Nicolas Jouan assessed the benefits of geographically delimited neutrality for the pursuit of transnational agendas against the cost of geostrategic competition with @arcticinstitute.bsky.social

When news outlets seek expertise on Greenland, who do they reach out to? In a commentary with @arcticinstitute.bsky.social , I argue that the Arctic requires a diversity of expertise to garner understanding of any issue, specifically regarding Greenland. www.thearcticinstitute.org/who-expert-g...

So excited to have this fantastic piece in the Knowledge Production Series!

We're putting 3 June on our calendars to hear from @ggricius.bsky.social discuss NATO in the Arctic!

I'm so looking forward to seeing all of the fantastic contributions come out over the next few weeks! Check out the introduction for a sneak peek into what's to come.

Perhaps you missed @ggricius.bsky.social piece on a shared Canadian-European Arctic consensus. Not to worry! We've got you covered. www.naadsn.ca/wp-content/u...

Russia’s dual strategy of confrontation and cooperation in the Arctic exploits divisions among Western allies while portraying their actions as provocations, forcing Arctic states to navigate a delicate balance in their responses, argues @ggricius.bsky.social

This is coming about a month late, but I successfully defended my dissertation, “Is the Arctic Heating Up? Complicating the Picture of Regional Security,” in mid-March, and the final version was accepted to ProQuest as of today!

Thank you for a wonderful week #ASSW2025 & @iasc-arctic.bsky.social! It was such a pleasure to hear from fantastic scholars and practitioners on all things #Arctic research and chair a thoughtful panel with Romain Chuffart on how non-Indigenous scholars can engage in decolonial research.

Russian #hybrid attacks targeting critical undersea infrastructure, particularly fiber-optic cables, have surged in the Baltic and Arctic regions since 2021 says @ggricius.bsky.social with the Jamestown Foundation.

What explains how and why states create communities? @ggricius.bsky.social and I explore the concept of eco-anxiety as driving Arctic community formation in this policy primer: www.naadsn.ca/wp-content/u...

Local (or Not) Insecurity on Arctic Twitter/X: Global Insecurity and Climate Change, by Gabriella Gricius @ggricius.bsky.social doi.org/10.22584/nr5... In our Number 56 special collection "Media Representations of the Arctic" #security #environmentalsecurity #publicopinion #socialmedia

On this week's Chatter, @davidpriess.bsky.social talked to @bctallis.bsky.social about the challenges of German grand strategy since 1945, the origins and evolution of Kraftwerk and its members' effort to reconceptualize German identity, the band's influence globally, and more.

When you gotta get your steps in, but you like napping…We’re celebrating Antarctica Day by sharing this Weddell seal that our science team met today (keeping at least 10m distance!). It’s the anniversary of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which designated the continent to peace and science.

Advance online articles from our next issue Number 56 now posted: Special collection "Media Representations of the Arctic" guest edited by Mathieu Landriault doi.org/10.22584/nr5... @charlygehrke.bsky.social @ggricius.bsky.social Cover art Boreal Night @dougrutherford.bsky.social #peerreviewed

New year, new 📄 🥳 Many moons ago, Julia Sachseder, Saskia Stachowitsch and I started working on this article, which now has found a home! We explore the seemingly contradictory use of vulnerability in EU border security. Spoiler: it‘s not good. /1 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Such areas include (1) the study of why some narratives are used to justify policy and others not, (2) the role of security professionals, and (3) exploring how actors draw upon particular logics of anxiety to co-create normalized security realities. 3/3

In this article, I interrogate the literature on #ontosec and the Paris school, drawing out key debates from both schools of thought and suggesting areas for shared inquiry. Reach out if you're interested in reading it - happy to share a copy! 2/3

New publication out... and one of the more theoretically-minded pieces I've written titled 'Whose #anxiety? What #practices? The Paris School and ontological security studies' 1/3 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Polisky

You have around one month left to submit your abstracts to our ECR workshop on #ontosec

If you're on the amazing #ontosec newsletter, you already saw the news that @renatofakhoury.bsky.social and I are hosting an online one-day ECR workshop in Jan/Feb 2024 for those with "works in preparation" that you're planning on presenting in spring/summer 2024! #polisky

Now that more people are moving here, a service post: I used the browser extension Sky Follower Bridge to find my twitter crowd here (and will probably repeat the process a few more times over the next weeks). Only available for Chrome and not the greatest UX – but mostly doing its job!

We're very excited to present this theory-driven work on #ontosec, the #Arctic, and #Amazon! Come visit :)

Amazing panel (and reception!) at the Swedish Embassy in Berlin with @ggricius.bsky.social
