Abstract
How undergraduates become committed to or influenced by applied anthropological approaches, stances, or ethics is often omitted within the corpus of anthropological publications. Yet the transformative experiences they can have when "in the field" are often life changing, and have the potential to impact nonanthropologists more significantly than can more professional or academic writing through the affect and experiential immediacy expressed in their oral or written presentations. Exposing undergraduates to major cultural differences as disciplinary neophytes often yields raw, impassioned insights that the seasoned applied anthropologist often expects and therefore subsumes under professional goals or purposes. Six of the eleven articles in this issue of Practicing Anthropology focus on these transformative experiences undergraduate students undergo when engaged in fieldwork.
