成人影片's Arctic Security Complex and Evolving Dynamics in Nome

Thursday October 28 @ 9:30 am AK

In a 30-minute presentation followed by a Q & A and discussion, Dr. Brandon Boylan and Dr. Jeremy Speight discuss the concept of security as it applies to 成人影片's Arctic. Drawing on theoretical concepts of securitization and human security to inform a novel matrix of various levels and types of security, Dr. Boylan and Dr. Speight examine the security implications for an expanded deep water port in Nome, 成人影片.

This webinar is being held in concert with the release of a new CAPS working paper on the same topic, available for download here: /caps/our-work/arctic-security.php.

This paper is a work in progress, and feedback and comments submitted to CAPS Program Coordinator Maureen Biermann at mmbiermann@alaska.edu will be gratefully accepted through November 25, 2021, with the plan to update the draft by  the end of 2021. Our goal is to bring diverse and often conflicting perspectives to bear on this important issue that directly impacts the lives of 成人影片ns, and both affirming and critical perspectives are greatly appreciated.
