Abstract: Sociologists Have Shown That Moral Understandings Of Market Exchanges Can Differ Between Historical Periods And Institutional Settings, But Have Paid Less Attention To How Producers' Moral Frameworks Vary Depending On Their Unequal Positions Within Both Markets And Institutions. We Use Interviews And Ethnographic Observations To Examine The Vibrant Market Of Research Shops Selling Academic Work To Students Around Two Of Uganda'S Top Universities. We Identify Three Groups Of Researchers- Knowledge Producers, Entrepreneurs, And Educators-Who Construct Different Professional Identities And Moral Justifications Of Their Trade, And Orient Their Market Action Accordingly. We Demonstrate That These Identities And Moral Frameworks Reflect An Interplay Between The Institutional Contexts And The Social Class Positions That Researchers Occupy Within This Illicit Market. While Knowledge Producers And Entrepreneurs Both Experienced A Sense Of "Fit" With Their Respective Institutional Cultures, The Former Now See Their Work As Compromising Ideals Of Research, Whereas The Latter Capitalize On What They View As A Broken System. Educators, Disadvantaged At Both Institutions, Articulate A Framework Countering The Dominant Institutional Cultures And Sympathetic To Underperforming Students. This Approach Illuminates How Institutional Contexts And Individual Class Positions Within Them Influence Producers' Moral Frameworks, Leading To Differentiation Of The Market.
