Ethics Statements from professional organizations involved in fieldwork:
American Anthropological Association
American Sociological Association
Society of Professional Journalists
Look quickly through the code of ethics for the organization assigned to your group. What seems to be the guiding concern? How does this concern fit with your understanding of the discipline that produced the code of ethics?
Then, read through the code more carefully, thinking about the research you'll be doing for this course. Select statements or themes that you think apply to our course--things that we should add to our own code of ethics. Also look for statements or themes that won't apply to us and be ready to discuss a few of them and why you think they're not relevant.
