Ethics in the Field : Contemporary Challenges Hardback
Edited by Jeremy MacClancy, Agustin Fuentes
Part of the Studies of the Biosocial Society series
Hardback
Description
In recent years ever-increasing concerns about ethical dimensions of fieldwork practice have forced anthropologists and other social scientists to radically reconsider the nature, process, and outcomes of fieldwork: what should we be doing, how, for whom, and to what end?
In this volume, practitioners from across anthropological disciplines—social and biological anthropology and primatology—come together to question and compare the ethical regulation of fieldwork, what is common to their practices, and what is distinctive to each discipline.
Contributors probe a rich variety of contemporary questions: the new, unique problems raised by conducting fieldwork online and via email; the potential dangers of primatological fieldwork for locals, primates, the environment, and the fieldworkers themselves; the problems of studying the military; and the role of ethical clearance for anthropologists involved in international health programs.
The distinctive aim of this book is to develop of a transdisciplinary anthropology at the methodological, not theoretical, level.
