Race, genomics and mestizaje (mixture) in Latin America
The conference presents the results of a project that explored how ideas of race and ethnicity interact with genomic research in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, where geneticists are mapping local population genomes, with the objective of combating diseases, and tracing “racial” ancestries. These countries have high levels of genetic “admixture” and interest geneticists pursuing the genetic components of disorders. Scientists in these countries often link their findings explicitly to questions of national identity, racial-ethnic difference, racism and multiculturalism, provoking media attention and public debate. The team members will be giving papers, detailing the results of their investigations and a number of invited guest speakers will be presenting aspects of their own work and acting as discussants of the project team presentations.
