Welcome to StudioPolar!

StudioPolar is a joint project of the Consortium for Science, Policy
and Outcomes (CSPO), and the School of Social Transformation (SST) at
Arizona State University. Research at StudioPolar examines the
cultural politics of arctic energy development, climate change and
markets.

We focus on the social formation of knowledge and expertise,
inflationary economies and anticipatory knowledge, anthropogenic
landscapes, ethnohydrocarbony, as well as the social history of
bureaucratic and indigenous elites.
