The Moral Work of Anthropology by Hanne Overgaard Mogensen
Looking at the ways in which anthropologists try to lead positive lives at work, this book investigates what kind of morality they perform in their occupations and the impact of this morality.“The book give many new insights about what the authors name the ‘moral economy’ as well as many ‘aha’ moments for me as an anthropological reader and raises good questions about what is happening to the discipline in a changing world” • Catherine Haase, Aarhus University
“This was one of the most compelling and insightful volumes of work I’ve engaged with for a long time. The topic of the moral constitution of anthropological practice, and indeed anthropologists themselves, by way of ethnographic studies of anthropologists working outside traditional anthropological university labour settings, is timely, important and incisive, and the chapters rich and well formulated as a whole.” • Melissa Cefkin, Alliance Innovation Lab, Silicon Valley
