Doctoral Dissertation Research: DEW Line Passage Project

该项目支持研究生Stacey Fritz关于通过建设远程预警线（DEW线）实现阿拉斯加和加拿大西部北极军事化的论文研究。弗里茨有一个创新的后勤计划，她将通过“低影响”的交通工具，乘独木舟、造雪机和徒步旅行到达社区；通过这种方式，她希望以当地情境化的方式进入一些社区。这个跨学科的研究项目结合了人种学、人种史和环境科学来研究北方DEW线的社会、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.
