Morgan Centre Interdisciplinary Dialogue: The genetic family in question
Date: Thursday 10th May 2012
Start Time: 10.15am
Summary
This seminar explores the role of genetic connections (or lack thereof) in families, and how issues associated with being or not being genetically related in families are perceived, understood and managed in contemporary society. It brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds such as law, cultural studies and history, health studies and sociology who address this question in their work from a variety of angles. The issues discussed over the day include donor conception, adoption and (non) genetic family relationships as well as genetic relatedness, inheritability, health and illness.
Full details are attached.
Please feel free to forward to invite others who may be interested in attending.
Best Wishes
