Ph.D. Research Agenda: Arctic sovereignty and public discourses
Barret Weber
Fieldwork
The field-work portion of my PhD research investigates northern Canada and other circumpolar nations. I visited the Yukon and Alaska during the summer of 2008, including Dawson City and Whitehorse. And I visited Iqaluit, Nunavut, in 2009 and 2010 for archival, photo, and interview research in affiliation with the Nunavut Research Institute (NRI). I also visited Reykjavik, Iceland, and Nuuk, Greenland, during summer 2010 to attend the Inuit Circumpolar Council’s (ICC) 11th General Assembly as a Canadian observer. I have reported on some of my early findings at the Association of American Geographers annual meeting in 2010 (Washington, DC), and I will do the same in 2011 (Seattle).
