Genetics and Social Justice

April 19, 2017 Earn 10 PDPs

How does genetics intersect with issues of social justice? As

genetic technologies become more widespread, how can our
society ensure that education about and access to this
information is available to all people?
Join us for an engaging professional development workshop
about ethical and social issues related to genetics. We create
interdisciplinary lesson plans that explore how increasing
access to genetic information will affect individuals, families and
society.

Topics include:
Introduction to Personal Genetics
American Eugenics Movement
Ethics and Gene Editing
Facilitating Difficult Conversations

Social studies, biology, humanities, health, law, and government teachers

and administrators encouraged to attend (all content areas welcome).
