Outline
Research at StudioPolar focuses on the cultural shifts brought forth by recent proposals to develop arctic energy and other resources in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. We consider regional and federal policy on development, institutional commitments to principles of newly restructured industries, and how the interplay between these different forces contributes to shaping global markets and conceptions of the environment and the political.
StudioPolar is a joint project of the School of Social Transformation and the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University.
