Field School Workshop: Why and how to get your first fieldwork exposure

Please join Anthropology’s Field School Workshop: Why and how to get your first fieldwork exposure on Wednesday, November 19th, from 12-1pm in 261, Social Sciences 1, hosted by Prof. Vicky Oelze and Anthropology majors Annie Bleveans, Lina Pesso, and Jamie Sorensen.

The main purpose of attending a field school in archaeology, biological anthropology, paleoanthropology or primatology is to gain hands-on experience in the basic field methods of these disciplines, such as survey and excavation techniques, observational data and sample collection and data analysis, and usually involves several weeks of institutionally organized field work under the guidance of faculty and other experts.

Are you wondering:
How do I pick the right school and how do I apply?
What is field school like and is it really the right thing for me?

Then please join our conversation, in which we will provide rich resources on how to find and select field schools and also field volunteering opportunities. We will share our very own field school experiences and what we learned. Finally, there will be plenty of time to address questions from the student audience.

Refreshments (pizza) will be served.
