Outline Activities
I am a social/cultural anthropologist specializing peoples in the Arctic. I lived in Alaska, USA for 18 years in total. My Ph.D. research explored the nature and structure of Inuit/Eskimo people's aethetic forms of expression, language endangerment, relations to the environment, their traditionality, and the meanings of tradition wrought by political, exonomic, and historical events in the Arctic. After completing a postodoctral fellowship at the Institute of Arctic Studies, Dartmouth College in the U.S., I went back to Alaska and became a senior social scientist at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Subsistence, a state government research agency in the U.S. As a social scientist, I was a principle investigator for numerous research projects about subsistence hunting and fishing, regional sustainability, wildlife management, and indigenous cultures and tradition. I was also responsible for negotiating regulatory issues with the federal and tribal governments as a representative of the state government. My current research interest is regional sustainability and sustainable development in the Arctic.
