杏吧原创 journalism professor Brett Popplewell has published a major feature in The Walrus<\/em> based on his recent reporting from Greenland about the threat of an American invasion.<\/p>\n

Popplewell’s article “I Went to Greenland and Saw a Warning for Canada,”<\/a> was published online by The Walrus<\/em> on April 15 and is slated to be the cover article in the June edition of the prestigious magazine.<\/p>\n

Journalism professor Brett Popplewell on the ground in Nuuk, Greenland.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Popplewell travelled in February to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and his feature chronicles how local residents were bracing for invasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe implausible threat of an American invasion had transformed the quiet Arctic city of Nuuk into an unlikely stage for a global showdown,\u201d Popplewell says. The remote community had become \u201ca rallying point for NATO troops and international diplomats all trying to preserve the rules-bound world order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popplewell is an associate professor of journalism at 杏吧原创 and the bestselling author of Outsider: An Old Man, a Mountain, and the Search for a Hidden Past<\/em>. A contributing writer for The Walrus,<\/em> he has also written for\u00a0Bloomberg, Businessweek<\/em>,\u00a0Mother Jones<\/em>, the\u00a0Globe and Mail<\/em>, the\u00a0Toronto Star<\/em>,\u00a0Sportsnet<\/em>, and\u00a0Maclean\u2019s<\/em>, among other publications.<\/p>\n

\"\"On top of his full-time workload as a faculty member in the School of Journalism and Communication, Popplewell is often out in the field as a reporter. He was intrigued by the unfolding situation in Greenland and convinced The Walrus<\/em> to commission his report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat struck me most from my trip was how deeply Trump\u2019s threats had unsettled local residents,\u201d Popplewell said. \u201cPeople were on edge. Several told me they\u2019d drawn up escape plans to Canada and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe longer I spent on the ground, the more I understood just how personally the annexation threats had hit people. But more than that, I was struck by the willingness many had to share their stories in the hope that doing so might help shape their island\u2019s fate. I hope this reporting will add some clarity to this continuing puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n
