Arctic Exceptionalism in a Contested World: Navigating New Challenges to Circumpolar Unity
Dr Zellen’s talk is a preview of his newest book, Arctic Exceptionalism: Cooperation in a Contested World, which is due to be released this summer. The book is a structural analysis of the roots and endurance of Arctic cooperation, and the rise of what until 2022 was quite commonly called “Arctic Exceptionalism,” a term that has since come under much fire as the profound consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rippled beyond Europe, fostering a complex re-organization of the international system aimed to isolating Russia from the globalized world but which has induced instead a re-bifurcation of world politics into western and eastern blocs, largely corresponding to the late-19th to mid-20th century geopolitical constructs of Rimland and Heartland. This re-emergence of competing blocs has quickly reached the Arctic, leading many to believe Arctic Exceptionalism was over, or perhaps had never existed at all.

AreEating Under The Sea: UConn Researchers Find Health Benefits of Connecticut-Grown Sugar Kelp

We report the sex-dependent role of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) in the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in the Journal of Pathology (IF: 7.996).

We published our study about the sex-dependent roles of nicotinamide riboside, an NAD+ precursor, in obesity and its associated disease conditions in J Nutritional Biochemistry (IF: 6.048).
