Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant: Alaska Native Leaders Knowledge: Impact on Policy Implementation and Resource Management

该奖项支持阿拉斯加土著博士生的论文研究。 该项目将利用人种学访谈、开放式调查和档案研究等人类学方法，研究阿拉斯加阿留申人狩猎和捕鱼权利的正式法律的定义与当地传统知识之间的交叉点。 这项研究将有助于讨论知识和权力之间的关系，在阿拉斯加的资源管理和控制的背景下。这项研究的更广泛的影响是其贡献的CoPI，博士候选人和阿拉斯加原住民妇女的培训，从而增加了这个高度代表性不足的群体在社会科学的代表性。

This award supports the dissertation research of an Alaska Native PhD student. Using anthropological methods of ethnographic interviews, open-ended surveys, and archival research, the project will examine the intersection between the formal legal definitions of hunting and fishing rights among the Aleuts of Alaska and local traditional knowledge of these rights. This research will contribute to a discussion of the relationship between knowledge and power in the context of resource management and control in Alaska. The broader impacts of this research are its contributions to the training of the CoPI, a Phd Candidate and an Alaska Native woman, thus increasing the representation of this highly underrepresented group in the social sciences.
