Fieldwork support

This issue of Anthropology Matters features an opening piece which presents the results of interviews with 16 PhD students concerning difficulties encountered during their fieldwork. The piece is both powerful and provocative, and will hopefully serve as an aid for thoughtful discussions in pre-fieldwork courses, post-fieldwork seminars, and departmental planning meetings. Anthropology Matters invited four academics to start the discussion by writing brief responses to Pollard’s account.
