In the Field, by Renee C. Fox, is a narrative account of the
author's life as a sociologist. It is not a memoir in the
conventional sense; rather, it is an ethnographic autobiography.
Drawing on a vast reservoir of notes and documents that chronicle
the span of her career, this work also focuses on the places Fox's
field research has carried her. Propelled by a conviction to move
beyond the boundaries of herself and of her native land, Fox has
done first-hand research in Europe, Central Africa, and China, as
well as in the United States. The majority of her research has
centered on health, illness, and medicine. Other recurrent themes
that pervade her work include training for uncertainty; the
allocation of scarce resources; the relationship between self and
others; detachment and concern; the particular and the universal;
the harm that can result from intended good; and the questions
posed by illness and accident, pain and suffering, and death. It is
Fox's commitment as a teacher and mentor of generations of students
that lies at the heart of this book. This volume will inspire new
generations of social researchers.
