Many students gain hands-on experience and training in applied anthropology through the dozens of field schools offered around the world. Field schools are incredibly helpful for revitalizing applied anthropology because they present the next generation of applied anthropologists with opportunities for reflection on the discipline’s past while they help to build our discipline’s future. This roundtable brings together applied anthropologists who have established field schools around the globe to share insights and advice on how to begin a new field school as well as how to run a field school once it is established.
Speakers- William Robertson, University of Memphis, Assistant Professor
- Katherine Lambert-Pennington, University of Memphis Full-time , Director School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy and Associate Professor of Anthropology

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
