Our country is in the midst of a national conversation about genomics,
ancestry, and identity. In this seminar, we will offer the opportunity
to explore issues raised by this conversation in a collegial and
collaborative setting. Readings and conversations will cover topics
ranging from personal identity in a social and political context to
human health and evolution in the context of genetics.
