The Moral Work of Anthropology

Ethnographic Studies of Anthropologists at Work

250 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Looking at anthropologists at work, this book investigates what kind of morality they perform in their occupations and what the impact of this morality is. The book includes ethnographic studies in four professional arenas: health care, business, management and interdisciplinary research. The discussion is positioned at the intersection of 'applied or public anthropology' and 'the anthropology of ethics' and analyses the ways in which anthropologists can carry out 'moral work' both inside and outside of academia.
