Panelists
CHICAGO – New research that aims to identify shared genetic markers challenges some traditional concepts of race and ethnicity and may reinforce others. Other research raises questions about genetics and health disparities among different population groups.
Do the results of this research reduce people to a set of genetic traits, perpetuate old forms of discrimination, and put certain populations at risk for further oppression? How do we ensure that racial and ethnic groups maintain self-definition and self-control as genetic science advances? Join us for a discussion about the sociological ramifications of genetic testing as it relates to race and ethnicity.
