Afterword Summarizer Sam S.

Nathan’s “Afterword Ethics and Ethnography” was an after the fact story or a behind the scenes story.  What the audience didn’t know was that Nathan actually admitted to being an AnyU professor to three specific people during the course of her research. She felt it necessary to be honest if people asked but she also became more familiar with the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy.  Nathan knew she would be exposed to several encounters of cheating, drinking, and other illegal activities against university policy so she relinquished her role as an officer (faculty members are in some way an officer) by submitting letters to the university. She tells us that she would have preferred to put her real name on her work; however, in time she’s not terribly worried about the possibility that students will figure it out!
