Geography field school alumni
The annual Geography Field School is a self contained Unit of study that involves a program of fieldwork, classroom-based teaching, readings an assignments carried over five week period in Southeast Asia or the Pacific.
Phil Hirsch ran the Southeast Asia Field School in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2009. He will run it again in early 2010. From 1999, John Connell and Eric Waddell established a South Pacific Field School to provide an option for students in alternate years, and John also ran this in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008.
The essence of the field school is a framework of experiential learning to give students a field-based understanding of development, environment and rural social change at the village level, and to foster learning with and through peers at universities in host countries.
