In this reflection we unpack students’ first fieldwork experiences and how this parallels a rite de passage. We do so in two domains: (1) students' first fieldwork with a focus on entering the field, staying in the field, and researcher identity; and (2) the impact of fieldwork experiences on students’ professional skills. Two struggles are prominent: letting go of the idea of “objectivity” and learning to deal with the whimsicalities of doing fieldwork.
In this paper, these four typed of abilities are analyzed in depth in terms of definitions, features and relationships with each other, with attempt to shed light on the relationship between them. Furthermore, the pedagogical implications are offered to tackle the problems existing in Chinese educational system.
R e s u m e n El artículo analiza las distintas formas en que el pluralismo legal formal en Ecuador es percibido y utilizado. Se enfoca en el vacío legal generado tras el reconocimiento constitucional del derecho consuetudinario en 1998 y la subsecuente ausencia de reglas de coordinación tendientes a definir la relación entreéste y el derecho nacional. A adoptarse una perspectiva de antropología legal sobre el cabildo, este artículo describe las variaciones en el tratamiento de distintos tipos de "conflictos internos", dependiendo de la gravedad del caso y de las partes involucradas.

Mientras por un lado extendio la jurisdicción de autoridades locales, también causó tensiones políticas nacionales relacionadas con la interpretación de los artículos relevantes en la constitución y con los intentos de limitar la jurisdicción indígena.

Adopting a legal anthropological perspective on the cabildo (village council), this article describes variations in the treatment of different types of "internal conflict," depending on both the seriousness of the case and the parties involved. I argue that

Nearly two-thirds of all community college districts in the United States are defined as rural serving, as reported by the Rural Community College Alliance (2017), representing 37%—or more than 3 million—of community college students nationally. These rural districts often struggle to fund and develop global education activities. This chapter will identify promising practices employed by three rural-serving colleges to improve student global competence through international-education programming.
