A research and publication‐oriented undergraduate ethnographic field school: The BYU experience in Guatemala

Abstract Brigham Young University hosted a long‐term undergraduate ethnographic field school in Guatemala. Among its achievements are the publication of five peer‐reviewed publications in which the central chapters were written by the young scholars. This essay provides an overview of that program and its legacy for the participants and the communities involved. We also discuss the relevance of publication‐oriented field schools to improve undergraduate education and strengthen the discipline.
