This research proposal by Dr. Linda Buckley-Green is a model of integrative medical anthropological research, drawing upon ethnographic, oral history, and archival research methods to examine the very complex relationship between Alaska Native culture and contemporary western medicine. Based on the specific case of tuberculosis among the Yup'ik of southwest Alaska, the PI proposes to gain insights on how " the structures of power and historical processes" interacted with Alaska Native experiences and agency. By researching the Yup'ik experience of the 1930s to the 1990s through the "lens of tuberculosis" the PI will help to shed light on the complexities of radical social and cultural change. In addition, the PI has laid the groundwork for extensive local participation both as researchers and as formal advisors to the project.

这项由Linda Buckley-Green博士提出的研究建议是综合医学人类学研究的典范，利用人种学、口述历史和档案研究方法来研究阿拉斯加土著文化和当代西方医学之间非常复杂的关系。根据阿拉斯加西南部尤皮克人结核病的具体案例，国际和平协会建议深入了解“权力结构和历史进程”如何与阿拉斯加土著经验和机构相互作用。通过“结核病的镜头”研究1930年代至1990年代的Yupik经历，PI将有助于阐明激进的社会和文化变革的复杂性。此外，国际和平研究所作为研究人员和该项目的正式顾问，为当地的广泛参与奠定了基础。
