Planning for Future Research on Russian America through International Seminars

这是一项研讨会旅行奖励，以促进PI和COPI参加将于2011年8月在俄罗斯梁赞和沃洛格达举行的一系列国际研讨会和会议。此次活动是应俄罗斯院士的邀请进行的，他们有兴趣为未来的合作研究项目制定议程，这些项目的重点是“俄罗斯美国”的学术研究。申请者准确地指出，尽管西伯利亚和阿拉斯加之间有着密切的历史联系，但在这些北极/亚北极地区，几乎没有合作的考古和[社会]历史工作来探索俄罗斯的遗产。参加这一研讨会对于加强美国和俄罗斯的学术联系至关重要，这是成功地建立国际研究议程所必需的，以便对俄美时期进行更深入的科学研究，这是阿拉斯加社会和政治发展的形成时期。

This is workshop travel award to facilitate the PI's and CoPI's participation in an international series of workshops and meetings to be held in Ryazan and Vologda, Russia in August 2011. Participation is by the invitation of Russian academicians who are interested in establishing an agenda for future collaborative research projects that focus on the scholarship of "Russian America." The applicant accurately states, "Despite the close historical ties between Siberia and Alaska, there has been little collaborative archaeological and [social] historical work to explore Russian heritage in these arctic/sub-arctic regions." Participation in this workshop is critical to strengthening the US and Russian academic ties necessary to succeed in establishing an international research agenda for deeper scientific research on the Russian American period, which is a formative period in the social and political development of Alaska.
