Social Transition in the North Memorial Symposium

这笔资金支持将于2006年3月在阿拉斯加科迪亚克举行的阿拉斯加人类学协会会议上举办的关于北方社会转型(STN)项目的讲习班。STN是NSF资助的一个项目，1994年野外考察季节，包括Pi Steven McNabb在内的四名首席科学家在俄罗斯楚科特坎海岸附近的一次船只事故中不幸遇难，导致项目被迫缩短。受邀参加研讨会的有原始幸存的科学家，包括来自俄罗斯和加拿大的学者，以及北极土著学者，对利用原始项目的数据感兴趣的新学者，遇难研究人员的社区和家庭成员，以及目前正在进行基于STN项目遗产的研究的研究人员。预计在悲剧发生10周年之际举办的讲习班将激发人们对北极社会变化研究和利用目前保存在阿拉斯加大学的原始STN数据的新兴趣。

This funding supports a workshop on the Social Transitions of the North (STN) project to be held at the Alaskan Anthropological Association Meetings, March 2006, Kodiak, Alaska. The STN was an NSF funded project cut tragically short by the deaths of the four lead scientists, including the PI Steven McNAbb, in a boating accident off the Chukotkan coast of Russia during the 1994 field season. The invited workshop participants are the original surviving scientists, including scholars from Russia and Canada, and Arctic indigenous scholars, new scholars interested in utilizing the data from the original project, community and family members of the researchers that perished, and researchers that are currently doing research based on the legacy of STN project. It is anticipated that the workshop, which takes place during the 10th year anniversary of the tragedy, will stimulate new interest in social change research in the Arctic and the use of the original STN data now archived at the University of Alaska.
