The Making of Colonial Culture in North Sumatra

北苏门答腊殖民地文化的形成：该奖项是根据美国-工业化国家科学家和工程师交流项目1987/1988竞赛提出的。该项目旨在使美国科学家和工程师能够在西欧工业化国家以及日本、澳大利亚和新西兰的研究机构进行长期研究。交换奖提供国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件。奖项的评选依据是与其科学领域相关的科学标准、申请人专业发展的前景潜力，以及与促进国际科学与工程合作有关的标准。该项目特别针对正在从事研究工作的科学家和工程师。这个研究项目将通过对一个这样的社区，即荷属东印度群岛苏门答腊种植园带的社区进行人种学重建，探索殖民地社区的性质及其内部划分。通过对现在居住在荷兰、比利时和法国的种植园主和政府管理部门的前成员的采访，结合档案研究，该项目将研究他们产生的一些社会和经济共性和对抗。该项目由美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校人类学系助理教授Ann L. Stoler博士和荷兰阿姆斯特丹大学南亚及东南亚研究系主任Klass W. van der Veen教授指导。该奖励建议提供资金，酌情支付国际旅行，国外本地旅行，津贴，家属津贴（如果适用），语言培训（如果需要），以及美国本土机构250美元的固定行政津贴。

The Making of Colonial Culture in North Sumatra: This award recommendation is made under the U.S.-Industrialized Countries Program for the Exchange of Scientists and Engineers, 1987/1988 Competition. The program is designed to enable U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct long-term research at research institutions in the industrialized countries of Western Europe as well as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Exchange awards provide unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions in foreign countries. Awards are selected on the basis of scientific criteria relevant to his/her field of science, the prospective potential of the applicants for professional growth, as well as criteria relevant to the furthering of international cooperation in science and engineering. The program is particularly directed to scientists and engineers who are embarking on their research careers. This research project will explore the nature of the colonial communities and their internal divisions through an ethnographic reconstruction of one such community, namely that of the Dutch East Indies' Sumatran plantation belt. Through interviews with former members of the planter and government administrations now living in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, combined with archival research, the project will examine some of the social and economic commonalities and antagonisms out of which they emerged. The project is under the direction of Dr. Ann L. Stoler, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 and Professor Klass W. van der Veen, Chairman, Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This award recommendation provides funds to cover, as appropriate, international travel, local travel abroad, stipend, dependents allowance, if applicable, language training, if required, and a flat administrative allowance of $250 for the U.S. home institution.
