Summary:

Since 1964 the University of the Philippines Department of Anthropology has been undertaking the annual formal Anthropology Field School (UPAFS). The Field School brings together the senior BA Anthropology students to different Philippine communities for training on field methods in Social Anthropology and in Archaeology. The Field School was initiated in Palawan under the guidance and direction of Prof. Robert Fox, and formally launched in Bolinao, Pangasinan under the directorship of the Indologist Dr. Juan Francisco. 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the Field School.

The Anthropology Field School is a degree requirement which serves as the training ground for Anthropology undergraduates to apply in the field setting the skills and methodologies of the discipline.  During the summer semester before their graduating year, the undergraduates go to a specific field site where they conduct anthropological and archaeological researches. They live in and with the community during the process of their research and study. The students undertake participant observation, in-depth interviews, among other methods, to be able to come up with an ethnographic report for the Social Anthropology component of the Field School. An archaeological site report is produced for the archaeological component. As part of their continuing training and appreciation of the communities and the people in the course of the Field School, theresearch results are shared in the proceeding semester through various formats — as monographs, as exhibits, to name a few (usually undertaken under their training in Museology).

This year’s Field School will be held in Cagayan de Oro City and Initao, Misamis Oriental from April until May, 2014. Cagayan de Oro presents a fertile study site because of its geopolitical character as destination, stopover and crossroads for urban migration, and for the emergent forms and notions of modernity and the urban life. In cooperation with Amsterdam University’s Amsterdam Institute for Social Science and Research (AISSR), the Social Anthropology phase of the field school will participate in the AISSR’s Chemical Youth study. The study aims to examine what chemicals young people use, why young people use these products, and how the products affect their everyday life. The Archaeology phase of the Field School will be conducted in Initao, Misamis Oriental. The municipality is of special interest because of its archaeological diversity and the pristine condition of the sites. Folklore studies in the area also present rich possibilities.

Asst. Professor Efenita M. Taqueban is the 2014 Field School Director and the Faculty Supervisor for Methods in Social Anthropology (Anthro 196). Assistant Professor Janine Ochoa is the Faculty Supervisor for the Field Methods in Archaeology (Anthro 195). Nineteen (19) students will participate in the field school.
