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.
