The Ethics of Knowledge Creation

Anne Sigfrid Grønseth is Professor in Social Anthropology at University College of Lillehammer, Norway, where she directs the Research Unit of Health, Culture and Identity, and Migration and Diversity Studies. Her research on Tamil refugees and more widely on asylum-seekers with concern for belonging, health and wellbeing engages issues of methodology, modes of knowledge, self and personhood, dwelling and humanism.

Lisette Josephides is Professor of Anthropology at Queen’s University Belfast. She previously taught at the Universities of PNG (1984-6), Minnesota (1989-2007), and the London School of Economics (1986-8). The Production of Inequality (1985) and Melanesian Odysseys (2008) are her most important publications on her PNG fieldwork. Her current interests focus on cosmopolitanism, philosophical anthropology and issues of knowledge and the person. These interests are represented in her two recent edited volumes, We the Cosmopolitans (2014, co-edited with Alexandra Hall) and Knowledge and Ethics in Anthropology (2015).
