Stephanie Martin is one of the newest members of ISER's faculty. She is currently working on two projects related to migration in the Arctic—looking at the importance of family ties and social support in people's migration choices and at gender differences in migration. She is also working on a study of recidivism among convicted felons in Alaska—analyzing the effect of longer prison sentences and other factors on the likelihood that people will commit new crimes after release from prison.
