Field Notes (Archived Journal)
Browse by
Field Notes: A Journal of Collegiate Anthropology was founded in 2009 by graduate students in the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Department of Anthropology. This journal was created based on the recognition that the research conducted by students throughout the course of their undergraduate and graduate education is a valuable resource. For fifteen years, Field Notes provided students of anthropology with a forum to showcase original, peer-reviewed scholarship. During this time, the journal was reviewed, edited, and published primarily by students in the UWM Department of Anthropology with occasional peer review by students from affiliated departments and institutions. Thirteen volumes of Field Notes including ninety-four papers and book reviews were published between 2009 and 2024. A full archive of Field Notes: A Journal of Collegiate Anthropology is available here on MINDS@UW. This journal is currently on hiatus.
