 I am looking at Antarctica, and particularly Antarctic identity. The way people connect with Antarctica, the way people think about Antarctica, their perceptions, the culture. Particularly because it's the only continent without a native population. So my focus is on certain cities like Christchurch, for example, or Hobart, which are known as Antarctic gateway cities. The communities of the cities, they do connect with Antarctica through many different ways. In Christchurch in particular, which is one of the places that I look and I focus my message, there's a huge historic connection with Antarctica. From the historic era of exploration, the names of Scott and Shackleton come across very often in the city. However, the city is going through a lot of big transformation. After the earthquake, there's a shift in the population. So other new contemporaries as connected with Antarctica as we were 20 years ago, 100 years ago. The importance of my research is not only identify those connections, but also it could help also to strengthen the connections to get people aware of what happens in Antarctica, support the national program, and have an understanding of where we are placed in this context.
