Globalization and Ketchikan

Project Details

Keywords: Alaska Native, documentary, ethnography, regional detail

Kristie Livingston
Faculty Mentor: Sarah Ray

Abstract

I would like to use this grant to help answer the question: What role does globalization play in Ketchikan's indigenous population's sense of place? This project is a continuation of the cultural landscapes project, where we landscapes to uncover their cultural significance, utility, and hidden implications, from Professor Sarah Ray's geography course. The cultural landscapes project requires local fieldwork, including user interviews and photography. In addition to the work associated with this project, I seek to document my research project through video and photographic images.
