Summer Institute on Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology

该研究项目将支持第二个为期三年的文化人类学民族志方法暑期讲习班方案。前三次研讨会在佛罗里达州的盖恩斯维尔举行。12名博士级文化人类学家将参加一个为期三周的研讨会，该研讨会将于头两年在北亚利桑那大学举行(第三年在佛罗里达大学举行)，以学习最先进的研究方法。重点是微型计算机的应用和认知人类学的先进方法，如共识分析。1989年夏季12个空缺职位的108份申请书表明了这项活动的必要性。这个研讨会很重要，因为社会科学正在开发新的研究方法，如果教职员工要进行尖端科学研究，就必须保持他们的专业知识。

This research project will support a second three-year program of summer workshops in ethnographic methods in cultural anthropology. The first three workshops were held in Gainesville, Florida. Twelve PhD-level cultural anthropologists will attend a three-week workshop to be held at Northern Arizona University the first two years (and at the University of Florida in the third year), to learn the state-of-the-art in research methods. The emphasis is on micro-computer applications and advanced methods in cognitive anthropology such as consensus analysis. The need for this activity was shown by the submission of 108 applications for the 12 available positions for the summer of 1989. This workshop is important because social science is developing new methods of research and faculty members must maintain their expertise if they are to conduct leading-edge scientific research.
