Seminar: Tonga Timeline- Appraising 60 Years of Multidisciplinary Research in Southern Province, Zambia

这一奖项授予肯塔基大学的Lisa C.Cliggett博士，以支持在赞比亚卢萨卡举行的一个国际多学科研究研讨会。研讨会将汇集专注于赞比亚南部省研究的学者，科学家们在那里进行了半个多世纪的研究。研讨会的参加者将包括来自美国、英国、德国、瑞士、南非、日本和赞比亚的人类学家、社会学家、地理学家、生态学家和经济学家。参与者既有在赞比亚从事研究长达60年的资深科学家，也有刚开始职业生涯的研究生。研讨会的主题是围绕纵向人口动态、生态变化、农业趋势、政治融合、文化以及对搬迁和流行病等社会压力的反应。讲习班的目标是总结已经完成的工作，并为未来最紧迫的问题制定计划，以便集中研究，避免不必要的重复工作。讲习班的成果将在计划出版的出版物中加以总结。

This award, to Dr. Lisa C. Cliggett of the University of Kentucky, is to support an international, multi-disciplinary research workshop in Lusaka, Zambia. The workshop will bring together scholars who share a research focus on Southern Province, Zambia, where scientists have been doing research for over half-a-century. The workshop participants will include anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, ecologists, and economists, from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, Japan, and Zambia. The participants comprise both senior scientists who have conducted research in Zambia for as long as six decades and graduate students at the start of their careers. The workshop is thematically organized around longitudinal population dynamics, ecological change, agricultural trends, political integration, culture, and responses to social stress such as relocation and epidemics. The goal of the workshop is to take stock of what has been accomplished and to plan for the most urgent future questions, so that research will be focused and efforts not duplicated needlessly. The workshop's accomplishments will be summarized in planned publications.
