==History==
Eskimology traces its beginning to the pioneering work of [[Hans Egede]] (1745) and David Crantz (1767) in Greenland.<ref>Fienup-Riordan, Ann. (1990). ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=erhrp9-RHiYC&pg=PR10&lpg=PR10&dq=%22Regional+groupings+for+the+Yukon-Kuskokwim+region%22&source=bl&ots=DPWJs6UYY9&sig=i8i0NT3pPLlz0cc7ensiwYLWvE4&hl=tr&sa=X&ei=6lh-VMmkNeHTygPH-oAY&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Regional%20groupings%20for%20the%20Yukon-Kuskokwim%20region%22&f=false Eskimo Essays: Yup'ik Lives and Howe We See Them]''. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press.</ref> Eskimology has traditionally had a particular focus on Greenland studies owing to the long-standing relationship between Denmark and Greenland established in the early 18th century, and the academic discipline of Eskimology is today centered at the [[University of Copenhagen]]. The term "Eskimology" was not common until 1967, when a genuine department was established and officially named the ''Department of Eskimology''. From the late 1960s, Eskimology changed its focus toward increasingly contemporary and global political issues.<ref name="Thuesen"/> In 2019, the department changed its name to Greenlandic and Arctic Studies Section (a section within the Department of Cross-cultural and Regional Studies). Greenlandic and Arctic Studies Section offers full BA and MA programmes. In these programmes, the study of Greenlandic language and the socio-cultural issues of Greenland/ the Arctic are central.

This includes ethnic groups from the Chukchi Peninsula on the eastern tip of Siberia of Russian Federation to Alaska of the United States, Northern Canada (incl.
