A Study on the Asian Immigrant Groups in the United States

在项目的第三年，我们将我们的主要研究领域从旧金山湾区转移到洛杉矶地区。在研究重点上，我们将研究范围从个体族群的内部结构扩展到亚裔族群之间的族群间关系。新成员hoffman博士和okamura博士的加入，使我们的工作范围扩大到中东和菲律宾。在两个阶段进行了深入的联合研究；第一阶段为1994年8月至9月，第二阶段为1995年2月至3月。第一阶段，3名日本研究员和5名美国研究员进行合作研究。第二阶段，分别有6名日本研究者、1名泰国研究者和7名美国研究者进行了进一步的研究。基于我们三年的研究成果，我们与加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和南加州大学的工作人员合作，在洛杉矶举办了一个名为“当代移民：关注亚太地区”的前期研讨会，共阅读了25篇论文（其中10篇是我们项目组的论文），参与人数45人。这次会议将为进一步开展亚裔美国人研究的国际合作奠定坚实的基础。我们的研究成果将在两卷本的研究报告和学术期刊上发表。今年将在美国人类学学会、日本民族学学会等学术会议上公开研究成果。”

In the third year of the project, we shifted our main research field from San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles Area. In terms of research focus, we expanded our research scope from inner structure of individual ethnic groups to inter-ethnic relationship between the Asian-American groups. Recruitment of the new members, Dr.Hoffman and Dr.Okamura, helped to expand our covering area to include Middle East and Philippines.The intensive joint research was performed in the two divided periods ; first period being August-September 1994 and second period February-March 1995. In the first period, 3 Japanese and 5 American researchers pursued cooperative research. In the second period, 6 Japanese, 1 Thai, and 7 American researchers made the further research. Based on our three years of research achievement, we organized a preliminary workshop titled "A Pre-Conference Workshop on Contemporary Diaspora : A Focus on Asian Pacific" at Los Angeles co-operating with staffs of UCLA,California State University of Los Angeles and University of Southern California. 25 papers were read (10 papers form our project team), participatnts numbering 45. This meeting will be a great stepping stone for the further international cooperation in the Asian-American studies.Our research results will be published in 2 volumes of our research reports as well as in academic journals. In the academic meetings such as American Anthropological Association, Japanese Association of Ethnology, our research findings will be publicized this year.
