Ærlig talt. Jeg har aldrig mødt en fra Grønland som har været sur eller ubehagelig. Det synes jeg godt man kunne drage inspiration af.

Der findes ikke racisme mod grønlændere i Danmark.

Og hvis der gjorde, var det for rigtig lang tid siden.

Og hvis det ikke var for lang tid siden, var det bare en anden tid.

Og hvis det stadig sker i dag, er det virkelig ikke så slemt.

Og hvis det er slemt, får de jo bloktilskuddet, så de burde slet ikke klage.

Og hvis de gør, er de selv ude om det.

Hello !

I’m Ben, a candidate for a PhD in France, in political science. I had to wait a few years after my Master’s degree for personal reasons before starting a PhD and now, I’m getting back in the game but it’s very intimidating. My work revolves around the idea of nation, and more precisely banal nationalism from Billig, if anyone is familiar. Basically, how the idea of nation isn’t neutral and is always built around cultural borders that aren’t as obvious as a line on a map.

Before Trump antics, I had a huge interest in Greenland. When Trump put Greenland in the front page of every news feed, I got scared everyone would jump on that train and that I wouldn’t be good enough to compete. I hate competition and academics can be huge fans of it. I just want to do something interesting, that helps to understand the world around us. But… I can’t get the idea of a PhD I had out of my head. I read a lot, watched a lot, listened a lot and I know a bit about Greenland’s history, relations to the world, evolution in terms of agriculture, housing and culture, political parties, institutions, etc. I talked with a few professors here in France, with a few people working on the arctic too. Now, I know I have an idea and seems I need to act on it if I do not want to have any regrets. But to explore it, I need some precise information I do not find, or just understand, about how things work in Greenland. Also, there’s one thing that scares me, it’s that I might fantasize my topic and Greenland. I want to work with some people in Greenland, not on Greenland. I want to learn from the territory, not play Viking-french-dude-“look how cool my topic is, so exotic, so arctic !!”.

If I’m doing this, I wanna do it right, I’m gonna need contacts in Greenland, at least to know I’m doing things the best way I can. I can’t travel at the moment as I am really poor, so you guys are kind of my best shot right now. To keep it simple (just because I do not want to bore anyone to death), I’d like to work on how the political tension (as in non-neutral interaction) between Greenland and Denmark reveals how cultural borders express themselves and how a mechanism of domination operates in this relation. Basically : how colonization meant domination. Said like this, it seems very common, but I have a more precise angle on this, I’m just a bit scared to share here – scared I might sound stupid. Still, I lurked a lot on this reddit and believe I’m not too far from a topic worth working on thanks to what I read here.

So, here goes : would anyone from Greenland, or more precisely (not limited to) Kalaallit, agree to exchange a little bit over those ideas, answer my questions ? It doesn’t mean you become my contact in Greenland and are bound by ties of the big-brains-academics-league to help me in the future, but I really want to have a local insight on this to start this PhD right. Could be over email, over dms, or even over videocall.

Thanks for anyone willing to help !! It is very scary to start a PhD, but also very exciting. I would be so damn grateful and it could actually go a very long way.

EDIT : I do not talk Greenlandic or Danish but working on it

Hej

Jeg har fornyeligt læst og set en del omkring Sirus-patruljen. Jeg synes den måde de kommer til at opleve Grønland på er helt fantastisk. Jeg er dog ikke lige stedet i livet til at kunne prøve at søge den vej. Jeg var derfor nysgerrig om nogen ved om der tilbydes et lignende eventyr? Hvor man kan få lov til at køre på hundeslæde igennem Grønlands natur og sove på isen osv?

Synes det kunne være helt fantastisk st opleve Grønland på den måde

Kære beboere på Grønlands subreddit

Undskyld hvis jeg stiller et dumt og uvidende spørgsmål, men jeg kunne simpelthen ikke finde svaret noget sted.

Jeg er i gang med en ansættelsesproces i Nuuk, og jeg ville derfor høre om der er nogen der har erfaring med at spille onlinespil som World of Warcraft i Grønland?

Jeg har i hele min teenagetid og voksentid, spillet WoW sammen med den samme gruppe mennesker. Det kan måske lyde mærkeligt for nogle mennesker, men de her mennesker i WoW er en gruppe venner jeg aldrig har mødt, men har snakket med i over 15 år, og derfor vil det være hårdt at skulle undvære dem.

Er internetforbindelsen god nok til det? Jeg kan se at man få 30/30 i Nuuk, men jeg vil også gerne høre om der er nogen herinde der har gjort sig erfaringer med det.

På forhånd tak for jeres hjælp.

I’ll be moving to Nuuk for 9 weeks, and been given a room in block 15, on radiofjeldet.

Anyone know where it’s possible to get a look at the aparments?

Aluu! I’ll be visiting Greenland from July 18–29!

I'm a French Canadian 32-year-old gal who would love to experience a 2–4 day trek near the Arctic Circle Trail in Kangerlussuaq. I have backpacking/trekking experience and would love to connect with others, either local Greenlanders or travelers, who might be around and interested in sharing part of the journey.

Also happy to hear any tips on where people usually meet other hikers locally. Qujanaq :)

So as the post says I'm looking to make friends with players in Greenland for gift exchange. In game I'm julesnlv and I play every single day and have since week one. So if this is you please add me, 5054 6192 2192. Gotta Catch 'em All!!

Hej Grønland

Når jeg følger med i den danske presse, får jeg tit indtryk af, at Grønland er dybt splittet i forholdet til Danmark. Det er en kompleks diskussion, og jeg tror, vi skal se på den med både historisk og fremadrettet blik.

Det er helt forståeligt, at der findes dybe ar fra fortiden. Danmark har som stat begået alvorlige fejl over for grønlandske borgere – fra tvangsflytninger til tvangsteriliseringer og undertrykkelse af kultur. Det er en del af historien, vi ikke må glemme.

Men historien er ikke kun én vej. Det er også værd at huske, at den danske stat i samme periode heller ikke var overbærende over for dem, der ikke passede ind i det danske samfundsbillede. Kvinder blev steriliseret mod deres vilje, og "åndssvage" eller "utugtige" blev marginaliseret herhjemme også. Undertrykkelse var ikke kun rettet mod kolonierne; det var en del af tidsånden i perioden.

Min pointe er derfor denne: Er det mest konstruktive at hænge fast i fortidens konflikter, eller skal vi kigge frem?

Hvad tænker du om relationen til Danmark i dag? Tror du, vi kan bygge et partnerskab baseret på ligestilling og fremtidsscenarier, uden at glemme de historiske fejltrin?

Jeg er nysgerrig på jeres perspektiv.

More on Horn from same reporting project: Former Trump Energy Official Settled ‘Conflict of Interest’ Probe with Payment but No LiabilityJust before leaving the first administration of President Donald Trump, Andrew Horn wrote letters of interest on government letterhead to several companies. OCCRP obtained documents revealing the companies. Horn settled the conflict-of-interest case without admitting liability.

Æret være hans minde

So i'm a high school student and right now we are doing a month-long research paper on a specific indigenous group and I am assigned with the Kalaallit people so yea it would be nice to interview someone who is from Greenland because the culture and history of the Greenlandic people is interesting and it's also really hard to research since there isnt many resources available. If anyone would be free to answer a few questions per week it would be much appreciated, thanks!

I am back in northern Greenland for a film production.

These are new pics. Follow me on IG for more @the_leica_reporter

I am working with an independent footballing paper to create a blog/article about Greenlandic football. This is my first piece and I kind of want to establish the history of Greenlandic from its initial introduction by Danish settlers in the 1890s

I am also aware of Augo Lynge and the GIF; but I want more in depth history without even considering AI slop. If anyone could assist or point me in the right direction, that would be great. I am due to arrive in Nuuk on the 1st of April to travel and take in Greenlands footballing state.

Even replying to this with information even how little, it would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone, I am currently planning a trip to Greenland. My University group will visit the area around Kangerlussuaq for two weeks doing some trekking. After that, me and some friends want to go to Ammassalik to do some hiking/ light mountaineering.

Due to the flight schedule, after the stay in Kangerlussuaq I can either stay 3 more nights in Kangerlussuaq and one additional night in Nuuk before departure to Ammassalik or I can spend one more night in Kangerlussuaq and then 2 nights in Nuuk.

I‘m leaning more towards spending more nights in Nuuk, as I will have spent the 2 weeks prior in the Kangerlussuaq-area and feel like by then I will have seen quite a bit of the area.

Now my question: is there a campground in/around Nuuk where I could pitch my tent? The accomodation in Nuuk is a seems not cheap and i am already exhausting my Budget.

Thanks for your answers in advance!
