Editorial Reviews

This workbook is an essential tool for those committed to the hard work of scientific collaboration across steep global inequalities, and an inspirational example of engaged anthropology.

Johanna Crane

Its wealth of cases, facilitator guidance, and wonderful illustrations make it immensely user-friendly as a training tool. And its sensitive portrayals of actually existing ethical conundrums make it a major contribution to the field of research ethics“.

Susan Reynolds Whyte

This volume is a great teaching and learning resource. It is easy to read and provides a bridge for moving from ethics regulations and rules to the realities and challenges of practicing ethics in the field. Talk of 'messiness' of relational ethics and it is explored in this book. When I started reading it I could not stop.

Nelson Sewankambo

This wonderful little book uses a series of compelling stories to prompt reflection and discussion on everyday ethics in transnational research... People working in a range of field research, clinical, and academic settings will find the book irreplaceable.
