Dear Colleagues

Genetics: The Sociology of Identity - Sociology Special Issue Call for
Papers
REMINDER - Deadline: 31 July 2012
There is still time to submit your paper to this special issue.
The special issue, for October 2013, addresses the many ways in which
genetic knowledge and technologies intersect with the formations of
personal, social, cultural, racial/ethnic and national identities in
contemporary societies. It will bring together sociological analysis of
identity concepts and practices with reflections on the role of genetic
knowledge in the formation of contemporary identities.
Possible themes may include but are not limited to the following:
* Genetics, normativity and the dynamics of identity
* The role of genetics in creating and contesting racialised
identities
* Genetics, colonialism, imperialism and power
* Genetics in social institutions: medicine, policing,
immigration
* State surveillance, including forensic DNA technologies and
immigration politics
* Genetic screening, and the remaking of health risk and at-risk
populations
* Social movements, genetic identities and the dynamics of
identity-based activism around health, disability and other issues
* New genetic identities
* Genetics and the contestation and remaking of parenting and
kinship
* The geneticisation of sex/gender/sexuality
* Fairness and equality: how wealth, economic structures,
patenting, and the regulation of markets and products influence access
to genetic testing and the ability to articulate certain identity claims
