Doctoral Dissertation Research: DEW Line Passage Project

该项目支持研究生Stacey Fritz通过建设远距离预警线(露线)对阿拉斯加和加拿大西部北极军事化的论文研究。弗里茨提出了一个创新的后勤计划，她将通过独木舟、造雪机和徒步旅行等方式，通过“低影响”的交通工具接近社区；通过这种方式，她希望以一种结合当地情况的方式进入一些社区。这项跨学科的研究项目结合了人种学、人种史和环境科学，以考察露水线在北方的社会、政治、文化和经济影响。

This project supports the dissertation research of graduate student Stacey Fritz on the militarization of Alaska and the western Canadian Arctic through the construction of the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line). Fritz has an innovative logistical plan, she will approach communities via "low impact" transportation, by canoe, snow machine, and hiking; in this way she hopes to gain entre into a number of communities in a locally contextualized way. The interdisciplinary research project combines ethnography, ethnohistory, and environmental sciences to examine the social, political, cultural and economic impacts of the DEW line in the north.
