Summer Institutes in Comparative Anthropological Research

该计划的夏季学院在比较和 跨文化研究将开发软件和数据文件， 然后提供一个为期三周的（主要是博士后）研讨会， 比较和跨文化的理论、设计和方法 使用人类学数据进行的研究， 夏天。 所涵盖的问题将包括使用主要 数据;区域内与世界范围的比较;历时 （跨时间）与同步（非历史）比较。 这项活动很重要，因为比较是 科研 任何对人类的概括或解释 行为必须对照比较情况进行检查， 确定并核实相关因果关系。 培训 比较研究的最新发展将使我们的 科学能力在一个复杂的水平。

This program of summer institutes in comparative and cross-cultural research will develop software and data files and then offer a three-week (mainly post-doctoral) workshop in the theory, design and methods of comparative and cross-cultural research using anthropological data during three consecutive summers. Issues covered will include comparisons using primary data; within-region versus world-wide comparisons; and diachronic (across-time) versus synchronic (non-historical) comparisons. This activity is important because comparison is the heart of scientific research. Any generalization or explanation of human behavior must be checked against comparative situations to establish and verify the causality involved. Training in the latest developments in comparative research will maintain our scientific capacity at a sophisticated level.
