Call for Notes from the Field
Launched on the web this past summer, the Notes from the Field series uses first-person dispatches by our researchers to shed light onto the valuable work they are doing around the world. The response has been so enthusiastic that we will be continuing the series in the McGill Reporter.
If you're a McGill researcher conducting fieldwork and you'd like to file a piece, contact Neale McDevitt. You can also read the dispatches on the web.
