Fall 2018 Colloquium Intro (lunch from Neomonde)

1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

Our series will kick off with a catered lunch from Neomonde on Tuesday, August 28. Come prepared to give a short update about your recent GES activities and upcoming plans.

Paul Vincelli – ‘Can CRISPR Displace Crop Pesticides?’

1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

9/4 GES Colloquium: We are thrilled to welcome Paul Vincelli as our first invited speaker of the semester. Paul is an extension professor at the University of Kentucky in the department of Plant Pathology, as well as co-host of the Talking Biotech podcast! He will be available to have lunch and/or meet with folks during his visit on 9/4. Request meeting with Paul >>

David Resnik – ‘Community engagement in field trials of genetically modified mosquitoes’

1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

Speaker: David Resnik | Abstract: Effective community engagement is an important legal, ethical, and practical prerequisite for conducting field trials of genetically modified mosquitoes, because these studies can substantially impact communities and it is usually not possible to obtain informed consent from each community member.

Justin Biddle – “Antiscience Zealotry?” Values, Epistemic Risk, and the GMO Debate

1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

Justin B. Biddle is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests are interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on fields such as philosophy of science, technology, and medicine; bioethics; food studies; ethics of emerging technologies, and science and technology policy. Conceptually, his research explores the relationships between three sets of issues: (1) the role of values in science, technology, and medicine; (2) the epistemic implications of the social organization of research, and (3) ethics and policy. He has explored these relationships primarily in the areas of biomedical research and agricultural biotechnology.

Kelly Bronson – ‘From GMOs to big data: the curious disappearance of food politics’

1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

Kelly Bronson, uOttawa - Abstract: Many scholars have made sense of opposition to genetically engineered (GE) organisms as contextual: these tools are judged in their historical linkages with poisonous agricultural chemicals (like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane/DDT), and with the corporations responsible for the production of such chemicals who now sell GE seed systems.
