This Circle U. Open Conversation brought together interdisciplinary perspectives to examine Greenland’s evolving position in a rapidly shifting global order. The panel explored Denmark’s legal and political authority over Greenland, assessed how and to what extent Greenland had benefited under Danish rule, and considered local expectations regarding autonomy, welfare, identity, and future statehood. Participants: Thea Bladt, PhD Student in History and steering committee member of the Uses of the Past Memory and Heritage Research Center (UPAST) at Aarhus University; Paninnguaq Boassen, PhD student in the Institute of Culture, Language, and History at Ilisimatusarfik, University of Greenland. Moderated by Professor Dan Banik, Academic Director of the Circle U. Knowledge Hub on Democracy.
