U.S.-China Joint Seminar on the Yi Peoples and their Neighbors in Southwest China Society, Seattle, Washington, March 1995

小行星9416824 这是一项部分支持与中华人民共和国学者联合举办研讨会的建议。 研讨会的组织者是华盛顿大学的史蒂文·哈雷尔和四川省少数民族事务研究所的吴敬忠。 主题是中国西南部的彝族与他们的汉族、藏族和其他邻居之间的关系。彝族人口超过600万，但在西方却鲜为人知。 这次研讨会将于3月19日至22日在华盛顿大学校园举行。 除了使西方人类学界能够接触到彝族的学术研究之外，这次研讨会还将加强西方人类学和中国民族学之间的对话，这两个学科有着相似的实质性重点，但在方法论假设上存在很大差异。 研讨会结束后，论文的修订版预计将在美国以英文出版，在中国以中文出版。

9416824 Harrell This is a proposal for partial support for a joint seminar with scholars from the People's Republic of China. The seminar organizers are Steven Harrell, University of Washington, and Wu Jingzhong, Sichuan Provincial Research Institute for Minority Affairs. The topic is the relationship between the Yi peoples of Southwest China, a group numbering over six million, but little known in the West, and their Han, Tibetan, and other neighbors. Five Chinese, one American, and one Australian scholar have been invited to prepare papers, which will be distributed in advance and discussed at the seminar, which will be held on the University of Washington campus from March 19-22, 1995. In addition to making scholarship on the Yi accessible to the Western anthropological community, this seminar will also serve to intensify the dialogue between Western anthropology and Chinese ethnology, disciplines with a similar substantive focus but widely differing methodological assumptions. After the seminar, revised versions of the papers are expected to be published in English in the U.S. and in Chinese in China.
