Diddy R. M. Hitchins is professor emerita of political science and international studies at
the University of Alaska Anchorage.
My perspective on the Arctic is that of a Brit who has become an Alaskan: I
am a Scot who grew up in England, where I earned my bachelor of science
degree and a doctorate from the University of Essex. My f‌irst academic
appointment was at the University of Ghana in West Africa and I have
been on the faculty of the University of Alaska Anchorage, where I have
specialized in comparative politics and international relations, for more than
30 years. I became interested in Arctic issues upon my arrival in Alaska and
was the founding director of the Canadian studies program. Like many of my
British compatriots, I grew up with broad global interests and an awareness
of Britain’s heritage of exploration, discovery, and colonization, including
signif‌icant contributions to polar exploration both north and south.
