New Arctic Frontiers is an investigation of the geo- and techno-politics around emerging Arctic oil, gas, and mineral frontiers at the edge of the rapidly degrading “marginal ice zone” (MIZ). The project is funded by the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study, and is the second phase of a multi-year collaboration between the UTL (led by Dr. Alexander Arroyo) with researchers from UC Berkeley (Prof. Michael Watts) and the University of Tromsø (Prof. Berit Kristoffersen, Prof. Tøne Huse). The project develops twinned concepts of “speculative geographies” and “geographies of speculation,” highlighting the systematic coproduction of speculative frontiers of resource extraction with centers of financial, scientific, and political speculation.
