Incorporating Immigrant Perspectives Into Organizational Research and Practice
Anthropologists have "been in business" with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) for most of the 20th century, and their role as consultants for such corporations, research firms, and local organizations has continued to grow since this time (Jordan 2013).

Agency and Agendas
Drawing on the authors' research experiences, and using Anna Tsing's (2005) concept of "friction," this article considers how ethnographic research is an essentially collaborative project. Ethnographic knowledge is generated by researchers and their (intended) participants - our agencies and agendas - come together to co-create a field of research. We argue that how these contextually embedded agendas align, differ, and/or diverge deeply shapes e…
