Human Rights & Equity Studies professor discusses living in Greenland in ²Ñ²¹³¦±ô±ð²¹²Ô’s

Headshot of Yvonne Su

Yvonne Su, associate professor in the Department of Human Rights & Equity Studies wrote an article for ²Ñ²¹³¦±ô±ð²¹²Ô’s about her time living in Greenland while researching her honours thesis on climate change. While Greenland has been portrayed by President Trump and some media simply as a territory that is rich in resources, she explains that Greenland is much more than this and has a rich, thriving culture and engaged citizens. She describes the experiences she had and the people she met, and how this differs from what is portrayed about the country in the media.

Su is a specialist in forced migration, climate change-induced displacement and queer migration. She has worked extensively with vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia and Latin America and the Caribbeans including refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, trans sex workers, indigenous communities and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks.
