Search Speaker Bureau
The Speakers Bureau is a directory of arctic researchers and experts that are available to visit organizations, communities or schools to give presentations. The directory contains names, addresses, science specialties, and presentation experience.
We encourage organizations and communities applying to the Arctic Visiting Speakers Series to use the Speakers Bureau to select a visiting speaker. If a particular subject or speaker is not listed, please contact Judy Fahnestock at avs [at] arcus [dot] org, for suggested speakers.
Lee Huskey
About:
Lee Huskey is a professor of economics at University of Alaska Anchorage. His research focuses on the economies of the north, primarily Alaska. He has examined the role of institutions and geography in regional and community economies and has taken both a historic and comparative approach. An important focus of his work has been the migration of residents within, into, and out of the north and its communities and the complex role of jobs and subsistence as determinants.
Dr. Huskey lectures regularly to students and has also made presentations to professional and community groups both in Alaska and other places throughout the north. He is interested in speaking to academic audiences and the general public. Representative lecture titles include:
- Migration as economic adjustment: The experience of rural Alaska
- Limits to growth: Remote regions, remote institutions
- Technology and growth in remote regions
Dr. Huskey would like to participate in the program because he is interested in building connections and learning more about other arctic regions.
