Doctor of Philosophy Degrees
Holly Cusack-McVeigh	Ph.D.	Anthropology
	B.A., Central Michigan University, 1987 M.A., Michigan State University, 1993
Thesis:	Stories Find You: Narratives of Place in a Central Yup∞ik Community
	For Yup∞ik Eskimo people, stories are active in social life. Their narratives illustrate a conception of the land as sentient and responsive, like a person, to human actions and social tensions. Thus, narrative discourse about place makes powerful statements about the health or illness of society and the natural world. Major Professor: Dr. Phyllis Morrow
Michael Stephen Koskey	Ph.D.	Anthropology
	B.A., University of Central Florida, 1991 B.S., University of Central Florida, 1991 M.S., Purdue University (Indiana), 1995
Thesis:	Cultural Activity and Market Enterprise: A Circumpolar Comparison of Reindeer Herding Communities at the End of the 20th Century
	Circumpolar reindeer herding is in decline. Comparing the trajectories of decline in reindeer herding explains the dimensions of local-global processes, situating them in wider contexts. These include economic incompatibilities, ecological stresses and power inequities. This study reveals the effects of the incorporation of reindeer herding into today∞s global economy. Major Professor: Dr. Peter P. Schweitzer
Jean Alice Richey	Ph.D.	Health Communication: Interdisciplinary Program
	B.A., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1998 M.A., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2001
Thesis:	Women in Alaska Constructing the Recovered Self: A Narrative Approach to Understanding Long-Term Recovery from Alcohol Dependence and/or Abuse
	Narratives of Alaska women are explored regarding success in long-term recovery from alcohol dependence and/or abuse. Constructionism provided a framework to discuss two emergent themes of recovery in regard to identity reconstruction: (1) Survivorship and (2) the Transcendent Self. The emergent themes represent the reconstructed constitutive interpretations of a woman∞s self-identity as the recovered self. Major Professor: Dr. Jin Brown
