Description
This volume shows how anthropologists can set new agendas, and revise old ones in the public sector. Included are discussions of anthropologists' work with the Department for International Development, the Ministry of Defence, the UK Border Agency, and their contributions to prison governance.
These days an increasing number of social anthropologists do not find employment within academia. Rather, many find jobs with commercial organizations or in government, where they run research teams and create policy. These scholars provide a much-needed social dimension to government thinking and practice. Anthropology and Public Service shows how anthropologists can set new agendas, and revise old ones in the public sector. Written for scholars and students of various social sciences, these chapters include discussions of anthropologists' work with the Department for International Development, the Ministry of Defence, the UK Border Agency, and the Cabinet Office, and their contributions to prison governance.
