It’s an uneventful article, I’m not sure what occasioned it, and unfortunately has little of the depth recently devoted to the subject in AE... but the fact that the Times saw fit to cover such a seemingly obscure topic must say something about the affective quality of IRB mission creep… did I mention that I was kicked off of the Rice IRB for making too much trouble? (Well, to be fair, I didn’t protest, I was happy to have one less administrative duty…) [...] [...] Another Horror Story on IRBs, this one in the New York Times.

I feel it particularly as an 'applied' anthropologist living in my 'field site'. I study organic farmers and their organization in Chiapas where I live and work, both as a researcher in a publically funded institute and as an organic farmer. The "line between my work and my life" in really non.existent (and that's the way I like it!) Most of my research papers are on subjects that arise opportunistically, that is were never laid out as specific research topics in any proposal, but arose in the process of work/research in general. There are of course many ethcical issues in this kind of work, but these are mostly not covered in the legistlation discussed in this issue of AE. By the way, it appears that only the Lederman papers are available to antrhosource. At least I couldn't get access to any of the others. Thank you for pointing to this issue.

Perhaps after the conference we could have a more substantive discussion of these articles here? I agree, it looks like a very interesting discussion, from the little bit I’ve had time to skim.
