Alexander Erdman is a recent graduate with a Bachelors of the Arts in International Affairs and Geography. Alexander’s research focused on the intersection of language policy and national identity. As a Dean’s Scholar, he has conducted interviews and analyzed local publications to describe the politics, educational system, and international relations of Greenland. These themes provide context for the political development of Greenland, and Greenland’s movement for self-determination. He plans to use this research to study political development as a social process. Alexander has presented his findings at the George Washington University and the University of Pittsburgh.
