Just arrived in the home of Santa Claus to start a research workshop/field course for our Nordregio project on Partnerships for Sustainability: Arctic Tourism in Times of Change. I’ve got my Cape Breton partners with me (Mary Tulle, from Destination Cape Breton, and Catalina Belalcazar, an MBA-CED student).  A link to the Cape Breton Post column about this work can be found here.

This is an interview I recorded with Dr. Sandra Jack-Malik for Caper Radio.

Join us Nov. 18-23, 2020 in Ushuaia, Argentina

Pleased to get some funding to buy a Mavic Pro drone and a Hero6 GoPro camera.  Important tools to advance digital social science research, teaching innovation, and community outreach possibilities.
