Fieldwork--The Anthropologist in the Field

This site is part of an effort by Professor Laura Tamakoshi of Truman State
University to deepen her student's understanding and appreciation of
fieldwork in anthropology. The content is based on Dr. Tamakoshi's five and
one-half years of research in Papua New Guinea, but her experiences and
advice can be applied to any region. The site is divided into four major
sections, Planning, Method, Writing, and Reference, which address such
topics as writing proposals, choosing field sites, setting up, adjusting to
culture shock, and writing field notes and reports. The Reference section
also contains a bibliography and a short list of links. This site is
especially useful for Anthropology graduate students planning their
research, but anyone with an interest in the field or in Papua New Guinea
will find the site interesting and engaging. [MD]
