Workshop on Global Change and Human Capital Initiative

该讲习班将于1995年6月底在华盛顿特区举行为期两天的讲习班，汇聚文化人类学方面的主要研究人员。讲习班将讨论文化人类学如何在全球变化的人文层面和人力资本方面促进知识这一广泛领域的问题、理论、概念和方法。讲习班的成果将是一份确定研究议程的文件，其中文化人类学作为一种研究传统的优势与这两个一般研究领域的需要相匹配。这次研讨会之所以重要，是因为人与环境的相互作用以及最广泛意义上的人类创造力和生产力的基本问题一直是人类学研究议程的传统部分。这次研讨会的关注将有助于确定当前的问题，并将当代研究人员的兴趣集中在这些具体的研究主题上。

This workshop will bring together leading researchers in cultural anthropology to a two-day workshop in Washington DC at the end of June 1995. The workshop will discuss issues, theories, concepts and methodologies in the broad area of how cultural anthropology can advance knowledge in Human Dimensions of Global Change and in Human Capital. The result of the workshop will be a paper defining a research agenda in which cultural anthropology's strengths as a research tradition are matched to the needs in these two general research areas. This workshop is important because the fundamental issues of human-environmental interactions and human creativity and productivity in the broadest sense have been traditional parts of anthropology's research agenda. The attention of this workshop will help define the current issues and focus the interest of contemporary researchers on these specific research topics.
