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.
Hanne Overgaard Mogensen is Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen. She is the author of Secrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic: Letters from Uganda (Palgrave, 2020).
