The PFGS is a volunteer postgraduate forum which seeks to bring together
researchers interested in how biosciences and society(s) intersect. Set
up in 1998 to explore questions directly related to developments in
genetics, it has now expanded to provide a common forum for the next
generation of academic researchers from a spectrum of fields including -
but not limited to: sociology, psychology, anthropology, science and
technology studies, law, philosophy, art and science. Overall, our aim
is to engage with each other in productive dialogue and build capacity
in the study of life sciences and society.
