Course description
All anthropologists – whether applied or theoretical they may be – conducting fieldwork, find themselves in complex social situations, as their research deals with people in a variety of role relationships. The aim of “Research Related Ethical Issues in Cultural Anthropology” course is to raise students’ awareness of the anthropologist’s responsibility: The anthropologist must make carefully considered ethical decisions, and be prepared to clarify the assumptions, facts and issues those decisions are based upon.
