[Linganth] New Ethics Blog is live

[Steven Black]

Dear all,

The AAA Committee on Ethics is pleased to announce that the American
Anthropological Association's Ethics Blog is live athttp://ethics.aaanet.org
<http://ethics.aaanet.org/> ! Our first post on this forum is "'Do Some
Good' and Other Lessons from Practice for a New AAA Code of Ethics" by
Elizabeth K Briody and Tracy Meerwarth Pester.
 
The ethics blog will provide a (moderated) site for presenting cases and
commentary, news and announcements, and public discussion of the statement
and other relevant items. When the American Anthropological Association's
ethics statement was revised and reissued as the Principles of Professional
Responsibility in 2012, it was with the intention of establishing a living
document, one that could respond in an ongoing way to the changing
circumstances and ethos within which anthropologists work. With this goal in
mind, the AAA's Committee on Ethics (CoE) was given the task of maintaining
the statement in an online environment. The AAA Ethics Blog, officially
released this week, represents the CoE¹s effort to achieve this goal. In
light of its educational mandate, the Committee chose to publish the
document in a way that not only provides further resources in the form of
hyperlinks to traditional references and online materials, but is embedded
in a frame in which discussion of ethical issues can naturally transpire.
 
The AAA and the CoE hope and expect that reading and contributing to the AAA
Ethics Blog will become a valuable new way in which practitioners, students,
and others can engage with matters of ethics in the discipline of
anthropology.


Best,
Steve
