Abstract
In this paper we explore how police officers in a post-conflict context construct their individual and collective identities as good professionals in narratives of bodily encounters with others. The paper treats experiences of bodily involvement in the world of one¡¯s work as occasions for identity work. We specifically focus on the construction of an identity as a ¡®good professional¡¯, with an emphasis on ¡®good¡¯ as ¡®ethical¡¯. Our paper thus aims to bring together concerns around ethics, identity construction, embodiment and inter-subjectivity in an exploration of ethical identity construction.
