The fieldwork is an essential and distinguishing aspect of anthropological research.听The term 鈥渇ieldwork鈥� is used to describe research in all areas of anthropology from social and cultural anthropology to medical or biological anthropology. The practice of 鈥渇ieldwork鈥� can be done in a variety of different settings such as an urban or virtual environment, a small tribal community, a museum, library, cultural institution, business, archaeological excavation or a primate conservation area.
Fieldwork is among the most distinctive practices anthropologists bring to the study of human life in society. Through fieldwork, for example, the social anthropologist seeks a detailed and intimate understanding of the context of social action and relations. Fieldwork in a previously unfamiliar setting has among its aims a deep understanding that encompasses as much as possible of an 鈥渋nsider鈥檚鈥� perspective. Conducted in a more familiar setting, it can lead the anthropologist 鈥� and those for whom he or she writes 鈥� to look at everyday reality in new and unexpected ways.
The Anthropology Department suggests to its students three kinds of fieldwork:听ANTHROPOLOGICAL,听, and INTERNSHIP.听All students have to take Anthropology fieldwork and then choose Archaeology fieldwork or Internship depending on their choice of specialization.听Students will have the opportunity to apply and enhance what they have learned in the classroom by conducting research and participating in anthropological surveys, archaeological excavations in the field, or volunteering in the tech companies of international development organizations.听
