All of the positions proposed are a necessary result of the expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center and its growing requests for services to museum visitors, schools, historic sites and communities. As we gather to thank the governors, legislators, donors and supporters, we are reminded that we have the seventh and final recommendation of the governors and the Historical Commission to invest in – “additional history professionals.” The six investments that have been completed to date are the State Archives expansion, regional historic site investments, resources for county and tribal historical groups, investment in heritage tourism, expansion of the Heritage Center and state- of-the-art technologies.

    WINTER 2014 | JOHN D. ODEGARD SCHOOL OF AEROSPACE SCIENCES A MESSAGE 04 08 12 FROM THE DEAN On December 28th 2013 the headlines read; “North Dakota named as one of the six National Test Airspace Sites for Unmanned 04 North Dakota is One of Six Sites Selected Aircraft.” This designation was made by the FAA after a fierce competition that included proposals from almost the entire for FAA-Approved UAS United States. Being designated as a National Test Airspace Site is a huge step forward for the Odegard School’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program as it continues to be the leader in moving unmanned aircraft into commercial operations in Research AEROCOM UND Aerospace UAS Center expected to play big the national airspace. This announcement heralds an incredibly bright future for UND, North Dakota and the nation. Robert O. Kelley President University of North Dakota role in national R&D program to advance UAS use Bruce Smith Dean It is amazing that this headline can be traced back to a single phone call I received from Senator Dorgan’s Chief of Staff in the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences summer of 2005. The call referenced the potential closing of Grand Forks Air Force Base and the role the Odegard School could Paul Lindseth Associate Dean 08 UND NDX Spacesuit play to keep it open. Understanding the role that UASs would play in the future of aviation and being able to align the capabilities Ken Polovitz Assistant Dean of the Odegard School and the University of North Dakota not only kept the Base open but realigned its mission to include UASs.

  • An Examination of Ideology and Subject Formation Among Elite And
    AN EXAMINATION OF IDEOLOGY AND SUBJECT FORMATION AMONG ELITE AND ORDINARY RESIDENTS IN THE BAKKEN SHALE, NORTH DAKOTA, 2015-2016 A Dissertation by THOMAS ANDREW LODER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Christian Brannstrom Committee Members, Forrest Fleischman Wendy Jepson Kathleen O’Reilly Head of Department, David Cairns August 2018 Major Subject: Geography Copyright 2018 Thomas Andrew Loder ABSTRACT The US shale energy boom of the late 2000s and 2010s has brought both economic growth and negative externalities to communities undergoing extraction. Building on previous research on fracking landscapes – as well as geographies of energy and natural resources and case studies of environmental subjectivity in extractive zones – this dissertation employed a suite of qualitative methods to examine the discourses and ideology used to support and oppose fracking-led development in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale. The dissertation consists of three substantive chapters. The first employs key actor interviews and participant observation to examine how pro-oil ideology is advanced by economic and political elites in North Dakota. This chapter concludes that elites frame support for oil as an extension of existing conservative ideologies prevalent in the state. The second substantive chapter consists of content analysis of coverage of oil- related events in state-level newspapers, specifically concentrating on a 2014 conservation ballot measure and the Keystone XL pipeline. This chapter concludes that pro-oil writers are more effective in their messaging due to focusing on economic and emotional appeals.
