What’s it like to teach in Greenland? What’s it like to BE in Greenland? Over three years, Dr. Geoff Mills traveled nine times to Greenland’s arctic region to teach education research to graduate students.

Dr. Mills will discuss teaching in a country where English is the residents’ third language (after Danish and Greenlandic) and where challenging economic and social issues have deeply affected the education system.
