Notes
NAPA provides Ethical Guidelines for Practitioners on their webpage, which addresses the practicing anthropologist's responsibility to welfare and humans rights, research subjects and participants, employers and clients, students and trainees, colleagues, and the discipline of anthropology.
In 2018, the guidelines for ethical practice was updated. Based on this, NAPA practicing and professional anthropologists should strive to: acknowledge biases, consistently consider the implications of our work, connect with our anthropological colleagues, ensure transparency, establish clear research protocols, apply ethical guidelines to all aspects of practice, communicate inclusively and effectively.
