Reconsidering the Coastal Community in the 21st Century
Co-Chairs: Marie Lowe, University of Alaska Anchorage and Kate
Reedy-Maschner, Idaho State University
Increasing restricted access in fisheries, the rising cost of living
in northern rural areas, and the single sector economies of many
coastal communities have increased their vulnerability to short and
long-term
resource and market instabilities. Barriers to upward mobility in
traditional occupational roles cause many communities to currently
suffer effects of brain drain but they are also at once characterized
by a strong sense of place shared among residents; a "social
embeddedness" (McCay 2000) connected to home communities. This panel
will explore the concept of "community" across the coastal North and
how its residents adapt to socioeconomic and environmental change,
sustain or reject coastal livelihoods, and the disparate methods
employed in adjusting to new and changing political and economic
realities. Fleets, processors, labor pools, and coastal communities
themselves are increasingly divergent entities with distinct goals,
constraints, access to resources, political power, economic
opportunities and alternatives ranging from subsistence strategies to
tourism to energy development. By exploring new approaches to
diversification, cooperation, and mitigating conflict, these papers
will address and expose how coastal communities might be innovating in
ways that contribute to community viability.
We encourage abstract submissions from scholars working on coastal
issues in northern areas or other regions with similar issues for
cross-cultural discussion.

Télescope - La gouvernance autochtone
L’intérêt pour les questions entourant la gouvernance autochtone, au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde, s’est considérablement accru au cours des dernières années. En choisissant la gouvernance autochtone comme thématique de son numéro d’automne 2009, Télescope apporte un éclairage nouveau sur cette question et souhaite susciter une réflexion autour d’enjeux propres à la gouvernance des peuples d’origine.
