Abstract

Fieldwork schools typically take place in distant, often exotic settings, far from instructors' home base. The University of Georgia (UGA) Summer Workshop in Fieldwork Methods, a project led by an interdisciplinary faculty at the UGA, summers 1992-95, reversed this pattern by bringing graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from colleges and universities in the United States and nearby countries to our home turf. Bringing strangers to our own backyards, we discovered, was something like holding a mirror before our faces. The reflection gave us a new perspective on who we were, what our surroundings were like, and how we related to one another.
