מדיניות הסיוע בעזה מסוכנת — יש לאפשר לאו"ם ולארגונים מקצועיים לפעול | דעה

I'm very grateful for Stephen Pfohl's excellent review of "Moral Minefields" by Sam Stabler and myself. "...the book challenges sociologists to reckon reflexively with the moral repertoires that influence our research. This is a valuable and timely challenge."
