IntroductionThis collaborative project involves an international team of researchers from several universities that will undertake a Collaborative Event Ethnography at the 10th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan, over 10 days in October 2010. Such meetings are sites or moments of negotiation and decision-making in on-going, broader policy-making processes, and they provide opportunities for researchers to examine how ideas about conservation emerge, gain traction, and are contested, debated and traded-off against one another.Intellectual MeritThis research probes the processes involved in determining what conservation is, who participates in such processes, and with what consequences. Researchers will engage in ethnographic research practices modified to reflect the untraditional nature of meetings as field sites. A collaborative team is better able than individual researchers to capture the dynamics of meetings and to address crosscutting themes. The proposal builds on experiences with and lessons learned from the first Cognitive Event Ethnography, undertaken at the 4th World Conservation Congress of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 2008.Potential Broader ImpactsThe core researchers will recruit a diverse team, including researchers from different disciplines, countries, genders and ethnicities. The diversity will serve to broaden participation in STEM areas. As a collaborative effort among multiple universities and across disciplines, the project will also serve to build and strengthen partnerships.

本合作项目由来自多所大学的国际研究人员组成，他们将于2010年10月在日本名古屋举行的《生物多样性公约》第十届缔约方大会上开展一项合作事件人种学研究。这些会议是正在进行的、更广泛的政策制定过程中的谈判和决策的地点或时刻，它们为研究人员提供了机会，研究有关保护的想法是如何产生的，如何获得牵引力，以及如何相互竞争、辩论和权衡的。这项研究探讨了决定什么是保护的过程，谁参与了这些过程，以及产生了什么后果。研究人员将进行人种学研究实践，以反映作为实地地点的会议的非传统性质。一个合作的团队比单独的研究人员更能捕捉会议的动态，并解决交叉主题。该提案基于2008年国际自然保护联盟第四届世界自然保护大会上开展的第一项认知事件人种志的经验和教训。潜在的更广泛影响核心研究人员将招募一个多元化的团队，包括来自不同学科、国家、性别和种族的研究人员。这种多样性将有助于扩大STEM领域的参与。作为多所大学和跨学科的合作努力，该项目还将有助于建立和加强伙伴关系。
