Sociological research in the Arctic / by F.G. Vallee.: R42-3/1962-8E-PDF

"This research note deals briefly with a project which I have launched under the auspices of the Northern Co-ordination and Research Centre, the main purpose of which is to study recent innovations in a number of communities in the Canadian Arctic. From previous research in the Arctic I have become convinced that it is possible, profitable and desirable to supplement the conventional community study by comparing structures and process outside their community contexts for specific purposes. One set of structures and processes has to do with work as a patterned activity. It is because so many innovations are being implemented in the field of work in the Arctic that I focus on that activity for purposes of comparison."--p. [1].
