Wood, Charlie. "Can Native Research Codes Avoid Culture Class?" Christian Science Monitor. The Christian Science Monitor, 16 May 2017. Web. 30 May 2017. http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2017/0516/Can-Native-research-codes-avoid-culture-clash
This human interest story describes the hurdles facing social scientists studying indigenous and minority ethnic groups. The San people of Southern Africa seek clear criteria and boundaries for researchers. While many hail these new codes as a step in the right direction, some scientist worry that these new research codes could hamper scientific independence and replicability. This story nicely illustrates the complicated nature of inter-cultural interactions and the many factors that can lead to misunderstandings between different peoples.
