Schemel Forum Luncheon - Genomic Science, Politics and Race: Can They Coexist Comfortably

Friday, 09 October, 2015

Schemel Forum World Affairs Luncheon Series

Genomic Science, Politics and Race: Can They Coexist Comfortably?

Jennifer Hochschild, Ph.D., Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government and Professor of African and African American Studies, Harvard University

As the uses of genomic science move into many arenas of life including medicine, law, racial identity, energy production, pest control and dating services, genomics can be expected to develop ideological and partisan valences. Is this an arena of a “liberal war on science?” Is it now possible for Americans to think about race and genetics in the same sentence without reverting to the old eugenics? This lecture will help us answer these perplexing questions.
