Robert J. Wolfe is an applied cultural anthropologist with expertise in the hunting cultures of the Far North. He has conducted research in Alaska since the mid-1970s and served as research director of the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Currently, he writes and conducts anthropological research from San Marcos in California.
His recent research projects have examined salmon fishing along the Yukon River, climate change impacts on the Arctic slope, seal hunting by Alaska Natives, and traditional cultures of dune shack dwellers on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. His current fiction writing draws upon his experiences with traditional hunting and fishing by Alaska Natives and contemporary sociopolitical issues of the northern regions.
