0105183WalkerThis Americas Program award will support Dr. Robert T. Walker of Michigan State University in collaboration with Marcellus Caldas and Joaquin Bento de Souza Ferreira, both of the University of Sao Paulo. The purpose of this proposal is to organize a social science workshop to address our collective understanding of the processes driving tropical deforestation, and to identify potential policy responses. Three subjects will be addressed: (1) research methodology, (2) the drivers of deforestation, (3) and policy responses.The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers of various disciplines, working at different geographical levels in the Brazilian Amazon, to facilitate the integration of their work into more universal theories about the social dimensions of tropical deforestation. The workshop by its very structure will facilitate international collaboration on key research questions and will establish generational continuity in the social science research community studying the Amazon.

0105183沃克这个美洲计划奖将支持博士罗伯特T。密歇根州立大学的步行者与圣保罗大学的马塞勒斯·卡尔达斯和华金·本托·德索萨·费雷拉合作。 本提案的目的是组织一次社会科学研讨会，以解决我们对推动热带森林砍伐的过程的集体理解，并确定潜在的政策反应。会议将讨论三个主题：（1）研究方法，（2）毁林的驱动因素，（3）政策反应，会议的目标是汇集在巴西亚马逊地区不同地理层面工作的各学科研究人员，以促进将他们的工作纳入关于热带毁林社会层面的更普遍的理论。 该讲习班的结构本身将促进关键研究问题的国际合作，并将在研究亚马逊的社会科学研究界建立代际连续性。
