GA National Fieldwork Fortnight 2023

 

After the sucess of last year's National Fieldwork Week, the event is back again with some tweaks. The event was organised by the GA, particularly thanks to the work and energy of Paula Richardson, and formed part of Mr. Parkinson's GA Presidential year in 2021-2.

It is now a fortnight - between the 26th June and 7th July 2023.

This year's theme is 'Environment'.

I'll be heading out - in fact I was discussing a trip with colleagues yesterday - and I hope you will too, and share what you get up to with the hashtag which we'll remind you of nearer the time.

National Fieldwork Week - Epipolar

Out with groups last week for National Fieldwork Week.

We were looking at old photos of the city of Ely and how the same locations have changed.

The students were interested to see the changes that had occurred since the images were taken (and in some cases, very little change). I sourced the images from the Epipolar website where there are pairs of images which you can swipe between to see the change.

They have also shared images for other local locations.

A video created for the site can be viewed below:
