Fieldwork: If It's Not Hard...

Planning. Safety. Back-up planning. This episode continues our conversation on museum fieldwork, where host Roger Topp sat down with a half-dozen of the museum’s curators to talk about getting out of the lab and into the world, into adventure, if that’s the right word. How do we plan and how do we learn when things don’t go according to plan? Fieldwork can be hard, and if it’s not hard, are we doing it right?The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
