Partial Support for the Eleventh Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies

50年前，对世界各地狩猎采集社会的研究，特别是在北极和阿拉斯加，成为社会和人文科学的一个主要领域。第十一届狩猎与采集社会会议（CHAGS XI）的目标是继续发展统一的狩猎-采集研究领域。因此，CHAGS第十一届会议的总体问题是如何将过去50年的成果和新的研究议程用于现在和未来。虽然许多狩猎采集者被迫放弃他们的生活方式和生存方式，但他们在关于工业社会的生态和意识形态替代品的公共话语中占据突出地位。CHAGS XI将吸引来自美国和其他国家的各种利益相关者参与这些辩论，包括土著代表、非政府组织、学者等。基于对狩猎采集者生活方式的全面田野调查和研究，以及从科学学科的各个角度来看，CHAGS XI的目的是将狩猎采集者研究带回人类和社会科学的中心。会议将鼓励讨论，为社会科学和其他研究领域提供对美国、北极和全球狩猎采集社会的深入了解。通过发表主题演讲，结果将广泛传播给与狩猎采集社会有关的地方、国家和国际团体。自1966年以来，CHAGS汇集了来自世界各地的学者，分享关于社会科学研究的想法。第十一届狩猎与采集社会会议（CHAGS XI）的目标是继续发展统一的狩猎-采集研究领域。CHAGS XI将为美国和国际学者提供一个场所，分析世界各地，特别是北极地区在社会科学和狩猎采集者研究方面取得的进展。这包括特别项目会议、讨论小组、全体会议报告、邀请主要狩猎采集者科学家和土著人民代表的演讲。将作出特别努力，确保尽可能多的来自美国狩猎采集者社区的项目合作者参加。此外，其主题将鼓励讨论，使社会和自然科学及其他研究领域在全球对话中深入了解狩猎-采集社会。通过发表主题演讲，结果将广泛传播给与狩猎采集社会有关的地方、国家和国际团体。会议将促进跨学科合作，并为早期职业学者提供活动。通过将土著和其他利益相关者对这一主题的看法作为一个组成部分，CHAGS XI将鼓励这些群体和学者在现在和未来相互学习。

The study of hunter-gatherer societies around the world, and in the Arctic and Alaska in particular, became a major field within the social and human sciences five decades ago. The goal of the Eleventh Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies (CHAGS XI) is to continue the development of a unified field of hunter-gatherer studies. The general question of CHAGS XI therefore is how the results of the last 50 years and new research agendas can be utilized for the present and future. While many hunter-gatherers are forced to give up their ways of life and subsistence practices, they figure prominently in public discourses on ecological and ideological alternatives to industrial society. CHAGS XI will attract a variety of stakeholders in these debates, including indigenous representatives, NGOs, scholars, etc., from the U.S. and other countries. Based on fieldwork and research from the full spectrum of hunter-gatherer ways of life and from all perspectives scientific disciplines have to offer, the purpose of CHAGS XI is to bring hunter-gatherer studies back to the center of the human and social sciences. The conference will encourage discussions that will provide the social sciences and other research areas with in-depth understanding of hunter-gatherer societies in the United States, Arctic and globally. Through publication of the keynote addresses, results will be widely disseminated to local, national and international groups concerned with hunter-gatherer societies.Since 1966 CHAGS has brought together scholars from all over the world to share ideas about social science research. The goal of the Eleventh Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies (CHAGS XI) is to continue the development of a unified field of hunter-gatherer studies. CHAGS XI will offer a venue for U.S. and international scholars to analyze the progress made in the social sciences and hunter-gatherer studies around the world, and in the Arctic in particular. This includes special project sessions, discussion panels, plenary presentations, invited talks by the leading hunter-gatherer scientists and representatives of the indigenous peoples. Special efforts will be made to ensure presence of as many project collaborators from U.S. hunter-gatherer communities, as possible. Moreover, its main theme will encourage discussions that will provide the social and natural sciences and other research areas with in-depth understanding of hunter-gatherer societies in global dialogue. Through publication of the keynote addresses, results will be widely disseminated to local, national and international groups concerned with hunter-gatherer societies. The conference will promote interdisciplinary collaboration and include activities for early career scholars. By incorporating indigenous and other stakeholder perspectives of the theme as an integral part, CHAGS XI will encourage these groups of people and scholars to learn from each other now and in the future.
