The African Genome at the Disciplinary Crossroads

Venue

University of Basel, Switzerland

In this conference, we would like to begin to understand how issues of identity and ethnicity play out in genomics research at an interdisciplinary level. Together with this objective we want to consider the ways in which colonial history has had an impact on how the ‘African genome’ is defined and used. We are particularly interested in the mutual influence of lay and scientific epistemologies on the ways in which we think about ethnicity within Africa and in genomics.
