In the Field PDF
By:Renee C. Fox
Published on 2011-12-31 by Transaction Publishers
In the Field, by Renée C. Fox, is a narrative account of the author’s life as a sociologist. It is not a memoir in the conventional sense; rather, it is an ethnographic autobiography. Drawing on a vast reservoir of notes and documents that chronicle the span of her career, this work also focuses on the places Fox’s field research has carried her. Propelled by a conviction to move beyond the boundaries of herself and of her native land, Fox has done first-hand research in Europe, Central Africa, and China, as well as in the United States. The majority of her research has centered on health, illness, and medicine. Other recurrent themes that pervade her work include training for uncertainty; the allocation of scarce resources; the relationship between self and others; detachment and concern; the particular and the universal; the harm that can result from intended good; and the questions posed by illness and accident, pain and suffering, and death. It is Fox’s commitment as a teacher and mentor of generations of students that lies at the heart of this book. This volume will inspire new generations of social researchers.
