ARC - 1023699 Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant: The Praxis of Fisheries as Culture: Long-Term Viability of Fishing Communities in Rural AlaskaDoctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant: The Praxis of Fisheri...Schweitzer, Peter P. Preferred Abstract: The proposed project will support the PhD dissertation research of University of Alaska Fairbanks anthropology student Davin Holen. The researcher proposes to develop indices that measure the long-term viability of rural fishing communities in Alaska by investigating how fisheries create and maintain culture and community. To understand long-term viability of rural fishing communities this project will focus on socio-cultural factors such as culture change, kinship based social networks, and local-level politics that shape contemporary commercial and subsistence fisheries in Alaska. It will also take into account the local mixed economy that enables families to ensure adequate food security. In the North fisheries have become a reified symbol of the reliance on subsistence for many rural communities in sub-Arctic Alaska situated along river and coastal marine environments. This project will also identify whether a robust subsistence economy, particularly one focused on fisheries, is an indicator of cultural success in these communities. Finally this project will identify whether a project such as this could create indices to measure the long-term viability of rural fishing communities in Alaska. The project uses three communities as test cases; Kokhanok located in the Bristol Bay watershed, Chenega Bay located in Prince William Sound, and Tyonek located in Cook Inlet. This project could be a model for other projects to investigate long-term viability of fishing communities in Alaska, or potentially across the North. Understanding the viability of fishing communities in the United States is a critical component in sustaining community participation in fisheries and maintaining the uniqueness of fishing communities.

Preferred摘要：拟议的项目将支持阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯人类学学生Davin Holen的博士论文研究。 研究人员建议通过调查渔业如何创造和维持文化和社区来制定衡量阿拉斯加农村渔业社区长期生存能力的指数。 为了了解农村渔业社区的长期生存能力，该项目将侧重于社会文化因素，如文化变革，基于亲属关系的社交网络，以及塑造阿拉斯加当代商业和自给性渔业的地方政治。 它还将考虑到当地的混合经济，使家庭能够确保充分的粮食安全。 在北方，渔业已成为阿拉斯加亚北极地区许多农村社区赖以生存的具体象征，这些社区位于沿着和沿海海洋环境。该项目还将确定是否有一个强大的自给经济，特别是一个以渔业为重点的自给经济，是这些社区文化成功的一个指标。 最后，该项目将确定这样一个项目是否可以创建指数来衡量阿拉斯加农村渔业社区的长期生存能力。 该项目使用三个社区作为测试案例; Kokhanok位于布里斯托湾流域，Chenega湾位于威廉王子湾，Tyonek位于库克湾。 该项目可以成为其他项目的典范，以调查阿拉斯加或整个北方渔业社区的长期生存能力。 了解美国渔业社区的生存能力是维持社区参与渔业和保持渔业社区独特性的关键组成部分。
