Social Transition in the North Memorial Symposium

这笔资金支持将于2006年3月在阿拉斯加科迪亚克举行的阿拉斯加人类学协会会议上举行的关于北方社会转型项目的研讨会。STN是由美国国家科学基金会资助的一个项目，1994年野外考察季节期间，四位首席科学家，包括PI史蒂文·麦克纳布，在俄罗斯楚科奇海岸外的一次划船事故中不幸丧生。本次研讨会的受邀参与者包括来自俄罗斯和加拿大的原在世科学家、北极土著学者、对利用原项目数据感兴趣的新学者、逝去研究人员的社区和家庭成员，以及目前正在以STN项目遗产为基础进行研究的研究人员。预计在悲剧发生十周年之际举行的研讨会将激发人们对北极社会变化研究的新兴趣，并利用现在阿拉斯加大学存档的原始STN数据。

This funding supports a workshop on the Social Transitions of the North (STN) project to be held at the Alaskan Anthropological Association Meetings, March 2006, Kodiak, Alaska. The STN was an NSF funded project cut tragically short by the deaths of the four lead scientists, including the PI Steven McNAbb, in a boating accident off the Chukotkan coast of Russia during the 1994 field season. The invited workshop participants are the original surviving scientists, including scholars from Russia and Canada, and Arctic indigenous scholars, new scholars interested in utilizing the data from the original project, community and family members of the researchers that perished, and researchers that are currently doing research based on the legacy of STN project. It is anticipated that the workshop, which takes place during the 10th year anniversary of the tragedy, will stimulate new interest in social change research in the Arctic and the use of the original STN data now archived at the University of Alaska.
