Four Decades of Advances in Arctic Anthropology: Workshop in Recognition of Contributions of Professor Allen McCartney

PI提议举办一个独特的，跨学科的北极人类学研讨会，将北美一些最杰出的研究人员聚集在一起，综合他们过去40年的工作。研讨会的概念核心是对艾伦·麦卡特尼博士的科学贡献的认可，他自己的研究跨越了北极，从大西洋到北美太平洋海岸，跨越了40多年。在北极人类学研究界的大力支持下，PI提出了一个令人信服的案例，将经验丰富的科学家、新手研究人员和学生聚集在一起，讨论艾伦·麦卡特尼在北极捕鲸和气候变化等领域的开创性贡献；图勒和因纽特社会文化中的弓头鲸北极考古保护；阿留申群岛的考古阶段；阿留申爱斯基摩人界面；海洋文化适应。本次研讨会将对该领域以及积极研究其过去的北极居民产生重大影响。

The PI proposes to hold a unique, interdisciplinary workshop on Arctic anthropology by bringing together some of the most prominent researchers in North America to synthesize their work of the last 4 decades. At the workshop's conceptual core is the recognition of the scientific contributions of Dr. Allen McCartney whose own research has crossed the Arctic from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts of North America and spanned over 4 decades. With great support from the Arctic anthropology research community, the PI has presented a compelling case for bringing together seasoned scientists, novice researchers, and students to discuss the groundbreaking contributions of Allen McCartney in the areas of: Thule whaling and climate change; Bowhead whales in Thule and Inupiat society and culture; Thule archeology conservation; Archeological phases of the Aleutian Islands; Aleut Eskimo interface; Maritime cultural adaptations.This workshop will have significant impacts in the field as well as for Arctic residents who are actively researching their past.
