The "Fieldwork Workshop" was launched in 2019 as a platform primarily for students to share their field research experiences. The speakers, consisting of our student research teams, will share their personal insights on paper writing, data analysis and the challenges encountered during their research processes. In each session, our professors and graduate students are invited to join the discussion, further broadening the perspectives and enriching the workshop dialogues.
