对博士生来说，民族志田野调查可能是一个非常脆弱的时期。他们往往独自一人，在陌生的环境中，可能会面临他们的前期实地工作培训几乎没有为他们做好准备的挑战。这项研究试图记录英国三所大学的人类学家博士所面临的一些困难。它描述了16名受访者经历的一系列感受：孤独、羞愧、失去亲人、被背叛、沮丧、绝望、失望、不安、尴尬、恐惧、沮丧、内疚、骚扰、无家可归、偏执、后悔、沉默、压力、受困、不舒服、毫无准备、无人支持和身体不适。论文最后提出了一系列问题供未来的现场工作者使用，反思了主管和大学院系所面临的困境，并提出了行动建议。
Ethnographic fieldwork can be a time of intense vulnerability for PhD students. Often alone and in an unfamiliar context, they may face challenges that their pre-fieldwork training has done little to prepare them for. This study seeks to document some of the difficulties that PhD anthropologists at three UK universities have faced. It describes a range of feelings as experienced by 16 interviewees: alone, ashamed, bereaved, betrayed, depressed, desperate, disappointed, disturbed, embarrassed, fearful, frustrated, guilty, harassed, homeless, paranoid, regretful, silenced, stressed, trapped, uncomfortable, unprepared, unsupported, and unwell. The paper concludes with a set of questions for prospective fieldworkers, a reflection on the dilemmas faced by supervisors and university departments, and a proposal for action.
