讲座摘要/About the lecture：
田野调查是社会科学和人文学科探索世界的重要组成。如果我们想了解别人如何理解和弄懂他们的生活，就必须要与他们面对面进行交流。这不仅适用于我们探索遥远的文化或与我们不同的社会阶层，也适用于更深层地理解与我们相似的个人和群体。本次讲座将会分享我作为外国人从20世纪80年代到2010年代在中国教育、地方历史和农村政治改革领域开展田野调查的经验，特别是田野调查如何改变了我对中国的看法，挑战了书面资料中的标准解释和概念。
Fieldwork is an essential part of the way the social sciences and humanities explore the world. If we want to comprehend how other people understand and make sense of their lives，it is essential to meet them face to face. This is true not only when we explore distant cultures or social strata far from our own but also when we seek a deeper understanding of individuals and groups quite similar to ourselves. In this presentation I will share some experiences from doing fieldwork as a foreigner in China from the 1980s to the 2010s in the fields of education, local history, and rural political reforms. I will emphasize how fieldwork changed my perceptions of China and challenged standard interpretations and concepts found in written sources.
