Abstract
Involving undergraduates in applied research is the topic of six articles assembled and edited by Cynthia Cone for this issue. Stoffle, Jensen, and Halmo open the discussion with their model, based on years of experience, for the development and continuation of field schools—an institution that figures in several of the other articles as well. Trotter describes the undergraduate ethnographic training program he developed and implemented through a summer field school, and O'Connell's program for becoming an anthropologist includes a field school component. The course Cone developed grew in part as a field-school-like Winter term course, and as a regular term course it continues to have some of the field school flavor, as does the course described by Garcia. These contributions by instructors are complemented by Cartee's description of her experiences as an undergraduate student involved in applied research and the impact that it had on her and her fellow students.
