Description
Studying Arctic Fields explores the social world of environmental scientists in the Arctic region, shedding light on the power dynamics at play in their work.
The author examines the history and vision behind Canada's Polar Continental Shelf Program and John Diefenbaker's "Northern Vision," revealing how these factors shape the scientific community's interactions with logistical staff and Inuit communities.
This book offers a new perspective on field research, advocating for a greater appreciation of science in remote regions and articulating a landmark statement on Arctic science as a social practice.
