Chris Klyza (Political Science) has been awarded a fellowship from the Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation for a project titled Alaska: Conservation in the Final Frontier. He will travel to Alaska to experience and photograph its landscapes and to better understand the issues at stake there, especially on lands managed by the major federal land management agencies. This trip is designed to significantly enhance two courses that he teaches every year, Conservation and Environmental Policy and Seminar on American Environmental Politics, as well as all his teaching of environmental studies.
