Regulating' Morality Produce a case-book of materials on professional ethics in geography to conclude work I have already commenced in this area. Explore the social creation of 'parochial' moral imaginations and the institutional regulation of those imaginations, beginning with empirical work on university approaches to ethics. Move from discussion of ethics as rules by which morally just outcomes are distributed, towards work that uses ethics as a means to examine relationships between the 'regulation' of moral behaviour and the bureaucratic, economic, intellectual, and socio-legal processes affecting that regulation in particular places. Look for connections in the economic restructuring or 'regulation theory' area. Insurers as Regulators Examine the role of insurers as 'rule-makers'.
Insurers are one mechanism by which local risk-economies are connected with another.
