4: Danielle Braun on how a fight in the bar taught her why police don't snitch

Why don't police officers report each other to their managers, even in cases of misconduct or behavior that deserves to be reported? That was one of the research questions that Dr. Danielle Braun began her fieldwork with. For a long time, she conducted research within the Dutch police force: she rode along in their cars during shifts, hung around the office, and went out with them after receiving a report of a major fight in a bar. And during that intervention, she learned something, or rather, felt something, that answered her research question. Listen to her story to find out what that was!   Dr. Danielle Braun is a corporate anthropologist, speaker, Director of the Academy for Organizational Culture, and author of popular books on anthropology (including Corporate Tribe, Building Tribes, Tribal Office Behavior, Patterns, and That's Crazy). She studied cultural anthropology and then spent 25 years as a corporate executive. Nowadays, Danielle still travels the world in search of ways to learn lessons on leadership and organizational culture, which she enjoys passing on to organizations and boards. At the Academy for Organizational Culture, she and her team help organizations improve and become more inspired, and provide courses. https://academievoororganisatiecultuur.nl/   For more information about Roanne: www.anthropologyofthefuture.com    If you want to receive additional photos from the field, personal drawings and behind-the-screens information accompanying the episodes of The Emic, subscribe to Roanne's free newsletter: www.anthropologyofthefuture.com/the-emic

Om Podcasten

Join anthropologist Roanne van Voorst and her guests during fieldwork in Inuit villages in Greenland, poor riverbank-settlements in Indonesia, or the buzzling city of Amsterdam. While she shares the wisest lessons that she learned in the field - often from unexpected teachers -, you will hear the sounds that surround her: chirping snow, a street musician playing the guitar, singing birds, or a noisy traffic road. In anthropology, the ‘emic’ perspective means the insider’s perspective. During fieldwork, anthropologists try to understand the perspective of the people who live within a specific group, or subculture in society.
