【内容简介】

杜宁凯教授将以美国社会科学跨学科的发展经验，回顾自己的人类学经历。上世纪70年代，受战后意识形态的影响，他和大部分学者采用美国区域研究的视角学习人类学。80年代末，杜宁凯教授作为前驱，在密歇根大学建立了人类学与历史学跨系博士项目，随后在90年代末至千禧年间，重建了哥伦比亚大学人类学系。面临当今全球化的挑战和科技的快速发展（人工智能、机器学习、机器人学等），人类学将置身何地？杜宁凯教授将通过他在美国人类学数十年的经历，分享他关于人类学未来走向的前瞻。

In this lecture, Professor Dirks will reflect on his anthropological experiences in some key U.S. universities and with respect to changing cross-disciplinary experiences and contexts. In the 1970s, influenced by postwar ideology, most of the scholars studied anthropology through the lens of American area studies. As a predecessor, Professor Dirks started interdepartmental Ph.D. program in Anthropology and History at the University of Michigan in the late 80s, followed with rebuilding the department of anthropology at Columbia University in late 90s to the millennium. With all the current challenges of globalization and the rising of technology (especially in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics), where anthropology should be placed in future? Professor Dirks will share his prospects for the trend of anthropology for the future with his decades of experiences in America anthropology.
