Phd On The Legal Aspects of Indigenous Subsistence
4 weken geleden
We are seeking self-motivated applicants for a four-year, fully-funded PhD position focusing on the Western and traditional legal systems regulating the subsistence harvesting of Northern animals (e.g., seals, walruses, whales, caribou, fish, birds and others) by Arctic Indigenous peoples, with a focus on Inuit of Nunavut, Inuit Nunangat (the traditional Inuit territories of what is now Canada). For many Inuit, hunting is not only a cornerstone of their cultural identity, but a vital stopgap to household food insecurity. Prior to the implementation of hunting regulations by non-Inuit policymakers and regulators - almost all of which are informed by Western-scientific determinations of species abundance and/or environmental health - most Arctic Indigenous hunters maintained food sovereignty and sustainability through dynamic customary systems based on whole-ecosystem perspectives and myriad cosmological considerations relating to human/nonhuman-animal relationships. Today, many hunters adhere to both systems - non-Indigenous and traditional - while increasingly facing practical challenges of hunting in regions disproportionately affected by climate change.
- compile, synthesize and analyze both Indigenous and non-Indigenous animal-ĥarvesting regulations - both codified and customary - across the circumpolar Arctic
- identify traditional rules and practices to prevent overharvesting, the extent to which these rules and practices have been challenged by commercialisation, and the extent to which these rules and practices have been acknowledged or integrated into Western regulations.
This will require the researcher to design and carry out semi-structured, open-ended interviews with Inuit subsistence hunters, other traditional knowledge-holders, conservation biologists, and regulators in Nunavut, elsewhere in Canada, and in Europe.
This work will comprise “Maligaq (ᒪᓕᒐᖅ)” (North Baffin Inuktitut for ‘A law/rule to be followed’), a sub-project of TRACES (Tracking Resilience in Arctic Sociocultural-Ecological Systems), a multidisciplinary research project, funded by the European Research Council, documenting and contextualizing long-term human-animal/human-environment relationships across the ecologically-rich Foxe Basin of central Nunavut.
