Fieldwork is an endeavor to travel an unknown path. To reach the destination, the fieldworker collects many pieces of information and investigates what they mean. The compass is the fieldworker's concern and sensibility. There is no shortcut or fast track.
Another aspect of fieldwork is to immerse oneself in relationships with others. People in front of you are not simple objectives of research. The longer you stay in a location, the closer you become to them. "How do I relate with my host family, their neighbors, village officials or extension workers?" "How do I live in these relationships?" "What is development for me, and for the people in the community?" Fieldwork gives us many chances to think about these fundamental questions.
Join our Program! We guarantee that your experiences in the Program will become a firm foundation on which to build your future.
