We agree with the idea that teachers must know how hiding identity can influence a learning experience so that they can make intelligent decisions regarding when hiding identity is apt in peer feedback situations (howard, barrett, & frick, 2010). without this knowledge teachers could be creating peer feedback activities that result in feedback being shared that is very different than the type that was desired or expected.

In writing about her findings in a brazilian shantytown, nancy scheper-hughes’s account of alto do cruzeiro provides a window into the terrible toll of nonconsensual organ harvesting among the poor, as well as how she herself changed over time. how might an anthropologist justify the publication of this ethnographic research when considering the problem of ethnographic authority? a. all of the poor must be given an equal voice, thus polyvocality is justification. b. anthropologists are themselves changed in fieldwork, and so honest reflexivity is justification. c. the horrific conditions made it impossible to ignore, and since she obtained informed consent, this is justification. d. authoritative writing asks us to consider what right we have to report, thus a moral challenge is justification.
