At the beginning of the twenty-first century the demand for
anthropological approaches, understandings and methodologies
outside academic departments is shifting and changing. Through a
series of fascinating case studies of anthropologists' experiences
of working with very diverse organizations in the private and
public sector this volume examines existing and historical debates
about applied anthropology. It explores the relationship between
the "pure and the impure" - academic and applied anthropology, the
question of anthropological identities in new working environments,
new methodologies appropriate to these contexts, the skills needed
by anthropologists working in applied contexts where
multidisciplinary work is often undertaken, issues of ethics and
responsibility, and how anthropology is perceived from the
'outside'. The volume signifies an encouraging future both for the
application of anthropology outside academic departments and for
the new generation of anthropologists who might be involved in
these developments. Sarah Pink has a PhD in Social Anthropology
from the University of Kent and an MA in Visual Anthropology from
the University of Manchester. Her first applied anthropology
project was directly after graduating with a BA in Anthropology
from the University of Kent, on a project about parcels service
customers, followed by other consultancies. Since being awarded her
PhD in 1996 (published as Women and Bullfighting in 1997) she has
worked at the University of Derby and is Professor of Social
Sciences at Loughborough University.
