“Framing Intelligent Transport Systems in the Arctic: Reindeer, Fish and the Engineered Road”</a> by Bård Torvetjønn Haugland, Marianne Ryghaug & Roger Andre Søraa for this year's
<b>INES Best Paper Award</b>. The candidate pool of articles for this year's prize were all papers published in

The committee was impressed by the paper's engaging language; its deft use of conceptual work drawn from STS, environmental history, and animal studies; and its excellent deployment of Goffman’s “frames” and Callon’s “overflows” to offer a well-crafted analytic.
Its use of grounded theory methods to approach observations, interviews, policy documents, and grey literature resulted in a robust account of how engineers reassemble a particular nature-culture divide in relation to the road that we found both novel and
relevant to the core of engineering studies scholarship.</div>
