Dr. Moody-Adams has published more than two dozen reviews and articles, and two books. Her first published book, Fieldwork in Familiar Places: Morality, Culture, and Philosophy, was written in 1997 and published by Harvard University Press. It challenges morality, culture, and objectivity. She explains that we can agree to moral disagreement while still upholding our beliefs of moral objectivity. Moody-Adams dissects evidence that anthropologists use for moral relativism. She details what “culture” is under moral relativism. Moody-Adams argues that ethics are interpretive. Her belief is that we must rely on ourselves as moral inquirers in our own complex communities. Her second published book, Making Space for Justice: Social Movements, Collective Imagination, and Political Hope, coming in June 2022 and published by Columbia University Press, raises philosophical questions about social justice movements and how justice can be met. Moody-Adams questions what can be learned from these movements and how we can create space for justice worldwide. She uses examples of movements, agents of change, and philosophical principles to raise questions. Political hope is upheld through social policy and motivation to pursue justice at all levels. Moody-Adams’ uses the book to close the gap between theory and practice.
