Synopsis

In Field Stories, William H. Leggett and Ida Fadzillah Leggett have drawn together a collection of fieldwork experiences from around the world. Using concepts like vulnerability, friendship, fear, and affect, the contributors in this collection draw on their ethnographic research and classroom experience to share instructive narratives related to their personal encounters and insights from working with local interlocuters. Drawing on moments both unfamiliar and all too familiar to those accustomed to fieldwork, the contributors demonstrate, in clear, relatable prose, how intimate engagements with others in the field can present moments of rich ethnographic value that can be used to understand and provide insight into global interconnections.
