Abstract

This issue of Practicing Anthropology presents work that emerged from the 2013 season of the Health Equity Alliance of Tallahassee (HEAT) Ethnographic Field School (EFS), an ongoing NSF-supported program and community-academic partnership in Tallahassee, Florida. Most of the papers in this special issue directly examine field school experiences; others represent the broader reach of community-academic partnerships. The HEAT Field School plays a unique role in the discipline as a structured learning center where Ph.D. students from a range of graduate departments can come year after year to receive formal training in field methods of data collection. Graduate students, university faculty, and local experts and activists in Tallahassee continue to be committed to projects related to community empowerment, health equity, and building upon community strengths to advance social justice.
