Learn how to articulate your research with greater creativity, command, and resonance.

Field Studio’s classes are founded on a core belief of fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion. We offer reduced fees for those without department support, and our texts include a wide range of scholars and writers beyond the conventional canon.

All Field Studio Classes are led by one or both of our founders, anthropologist and poet Nomi Stone and nonfiction writer, editor, and former reporter Ro Skelton.
