"Applied Anthropology, its Contribution to Development and Planning, and its Ethical Dilemmas" (1997)
Carolyn Colleran. Curtin: University of Technology, Western Australia. Abstact provided: "The following paper briefly examines the historical beginnings of applied anthropologgy and its current role in planning and development. The paper attempts to show that applied anthropology is a worthwhile element of the anthropological discipline. Due to the sensitivity of data, precautions against falsification and manipulation of data is essential. Applied Anthropologists routinely face ethical and moral dilemmas as a result of the very nature of the data and issues they address."
