ANTH 432 - Anthropology and Ethics

This course examines the moral duties of anthropologists engaged in research, publication and teaching. Anthropologists bear personal and professional responsibilities to the discipline, to humanity and to other species integral to anthropological research. This course focuses on codes of professional conduct that anthropologists have developed to govern the ethical pursuit of knowledge in cultural, archeological, biological and linguistic anthropology. We will be particularly concerned with specific case studies of ethical breaches, conflicts and dilemmas. Consent of instructor required. Enrollment Limit:  10.
