Conference Proposal: Strengthening Methods and Broadening Public Impacts in Psychological and Cultural Anthropology Santa Ana Pueblo, NM, April 4-7, 2019

该项目旨在为科学家提供更多的知识和工具，以进行可靠的研究。该项目提供一个论坛，让以研究设计、方法和公众影响方面的专门知识而闻名的各国同行参与，将提高今后研究工作的质量和相关性。讲习班为科学合作提供了一个平台，其成果将有益于那些致力于制定更有效的方法和途径来传播人类学研究成果以促进公众科学认识的人。研讨会的成果将向公众提供。该项目还有助于对研究生进行有科学依据的经验数据收集方法方面的培训。 凯斯韦斯特大学的吉尔·科尔宾博士和华盛顿大学的丽贝卡·莱斯特博士的领导下，将召开六个研讨会，并由十三位学者领导，紧接着与心理人类学（SPA）在圣安娜普韦布洛，NM的两年一度的会议，从2019年4月4日至7日。将举办两个会前讲习班，讨论方法问题，一个是关于在人种学研究中使用标准化工具;另一个侧重于人类学中的创新语言方法。另外两个会前研讨会将讨论有效的沟通和传播研究：成功的赠款写作和传播人类学以外的研究成果的战略。在正常会议时间内还将举办两次讲习班。第一，视觉人类学的方法，将是一个双会议研讨会，将为参与者提供实践机会，探索这一新兴的研究和传播机会。第二个将是一个写作研讨会，安排在会议的最后一个上午。该研讨会将针对高级论文和尚未发表科学文章的早期职业阶段人类学家。这些讲习班将通过研究设计和方法的进步和创新来推动心理和文化人类学。由于在心理人类学的子领域中已经广泛发展和理论化的概念在行为和社会科学中越来越广泛地抽象化，因此预计会产生超出特定子领域的强大乘数效应。预计将有150多名学者亲自参加这些研讨会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project aims to give scientists more of the knowledge and tools they need to produce robust and reliable research. By providing a forum to engage with national colleagues renowned for their expertise in research design, methodology and public impact, this project will enhance both the quality and relevance of future research efforts. The workshop provides a platform for scientific collaboration, the results of which will benefit those working to develop more effective methodologies and avenues for the dissemination of findings from anthropological research to promote public scientific understanding. Products from the workshop will be made publicly available. The project also contributes to the training of graduate students in methods of scientifically-grounded and empirical data collection. Under the leadership of Dr. Jill Korbin of the Case Western University and Dr. Rebecca Lester of Washington University, six workshops will be convened and led by thirteen scholars immediately before and concurrent with the biennial meeting of the Society for Psychological Anthropology (SPA) in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM, from April 4-7, 2019. There will be two pre-conference workshops addressing methodologies, one on using standardized instruments in ethnographic research; and the other focused on innovative linguistic methods in anthropology. Two other pre-conference workshops will address effective communication and dissemination of research: strategies for successful grant writing and disseminating research findings beyond anthropology. And two additional workshops will be offered during the regular conference hours. The first, Methods in Visual Anthropology, will be a double-session workshop that will offer participants hands-on opportunities for exploring this emerging research and dissemination opportunity. The second will be a writing workshop, scheduled on the last morning of the conference. This workshop will be aimed at advanced dissertation and early career stage anthropologists who have not yet published a scientific article. The workshops will advance psychological and cultural anthropology through advancements and innovations in research design and methodology. Because concepts that have been extensively developed and theorized in the subfield of psychological anthropology have been increasingly abstracted more widely in the behavioral and social sciences, a strong multiplier effect beyond the specific subfield is expected. It is anticipated that more than 150 scholars will participate in person in these workshops.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
