Dear All,
The Postgraduate Forum on Genetics and Society is holding a one day Regional Meeting on the 28th of November in Cardiff.
The meeting theme focuses on genetic and genomic health and the implications of genetic and genomic technologies in clinical practice. Postgraduate anthropologists (or recent PhDs) looking at the social lives of these technologies, the materiality and contestedness of their use and results, or the framing of public debates around benefits for individuals, families or society would be especially welcome to attend.
Instructions on how to submit an abstract for the day are here: we welcome work in progress as well as more polished pieces. The tone of our meetings is always informal, and they're a great chance to get practice at presenting in front of a friendly audience, meet people from other universities and disciplines and talk about common themes. Lunch and refreshments are provided, and advance purchase train or bus tickets within the UK will be reimbursed. Hope to see many of you there.
All best wishes,
Rachel Douglas-Jones and Stevienna de Saille
PFGS Co-Chairs 2011-12
