In recent years, academia's growing concern with research ethics has led to the formulation and standardization of cross-disciplinary ethical guidelines, embodied in the creation of institutions dedicated to a unified ethical review, such as the University of Oxford's Central University Research Ethics Committee. Our purpose in conducting this workshop is to examine the ways in which we, as anthropologists, engage with ethics in our own research, as well as the role of institutionalised ethical codes in anthropological research. We shall explore themes such as the meaning of ethics to anthropologists, our uniquely 'anthropological' ethical concerns, and our own experiences with ethics within anthropological practice. We also hope to enable workshop participants to act to influence existing ethics regimes, either through collective action (i.e., the Oxford University Anthropological Society) or other means.
