今年~①二月,出于抗议,我自美国国家科学院(National Academy of Sciences,NAS)辞职。我这样做基于两点理由。第一点理由与科学院聘用人类学家为美国军方服务有关,这些获聘的人类学家所从事的研究旨在提升美军的作战水平。其中一个项目意在研究小股部队及其指挥官在不同情境(包括了“重大作战行动”)下的战术安排。另一项目则致力于开发预测个人与集体表现的方法,而其目的在于为美国陆军研究所(US Army Research Institute)草拟研究议程。
This February ~ January, out of protest, I resigned from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). I do so based on two reasons. The first reason is related to hiring anthropologists from the Academy of Sciences to serve the U.S. military. The studies conducted by these hired anthropologists aim to improve the operational capabilities of the U.S. military. One of the projects aimed at studying the tactical arrangements of small units and their commanders in different contexts (including “major operations”). Another project focused on developing methods for predicting individual and collective performance, and its purpose was to draft a research agenda for the US Army Research Institute.
