This volume originated from the 2019 workshop, “Transparency: Ethnographies of a Global Social Value,” held at the Geneva Graduate Institute. We are grateful to all the participants for their insightful contributions, many of which shaped the chapters in this volume. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to the administrative staff at the Graduate Institute for their support in organizing this workshop, with special thanks to Sina Zintzmeyer.
