Young Anthropology (Vol. 6) Special Issue: Notes from the Field
December 31, 2025
We are very pleased to present a special issue of Young Anthropology entitled Notes from the Field, featuring reflections, photography and artwork by UTM Anthropology undergraduate students. Congratulations to all authors and contributors!
"Fieldwork is a cornerstone of anthropological research, allowing researchers to go beyond textbooks and other documentary sources, and to engage directly with the materials and experiences of life as it is, or has been, lived. In this special issue of Young Anthropology, we hear from undergraduate students who have participated in fieldwork and engaged learning during their degree programs, reflecting on what they’ve experienced and what they’ve learned." - Dr. Creighton Avery and Dr. Zoë Wool, co-editors of Young Anthropology
