Berit Kristoffersen (NO) is a political geographer at UiT – the Arctic University of Norway. She researches in how presence and futures are negotiated in the Arctic, how politics turns into geo-politics and how climate change turns into opportunistic business opportunities. She explores these tensions and processes also in relation to how post-petroleum futures are negotiated in coastal communities in the north.  She is currently a post-doctoral research fellow in the HERA-funded Arctic Encounters project. a href="http://arcticencounters.net" target="_blank">arcticencounters.net vimeo.com/24269921 uit.no/ansatte/organisasjon/ansatte/person?p_document_id=80844&p_dimension_id=88153
