Dissertation Research: Asian American in Multicultural Subartic America: A Comparative Multivariate Analysis

本项目涉及加州大学欧文分校一名人类学专业学生的学位论文研究。这名学生将在阿拉斯加的安克雷奇、科迪亚克和诺姆三个地方研究亚裔美国人社区。该项目收集人口统计信息，并研究移民模式、就业和职业、文化保留和变化，以及种族间和族裔间的互动。它将使用多种方法，包括受访者访谈、参与者观察、调查问卷和关键线人协议。这项研究很重要，因为种族间和种族间的冲突是许多地区生活中的一个主要事实。这个关于一个复杂的亚裔社区如何适应复杂的阿拉斯加社会环境的案例研究，可以帮助我们理解社区冲突和适应的一般原则。

This project involves the dissertation research of an anthropology student from the University of California - Irvine. The student will study the Asian-American community in three places in Alaska -- Anchorage, Kodiak and Nome. The project gathers demographic information and studies migration patterns, employment and occupations, and cultural retention and changes, and interracial ad inter-ethnic interactions. It will use multiple methods including respondent interviews, participant observation, survey questionnaires and key informant protocols. This research is important because inter-ethnic and inter-racial strife is a major fact of life in many areas. This case study of how a complex Asian community fits into a complex Alaskan social setting can help us understand general principles of community conflict and adaptation.
