SUMMARY:Katie Barnhill-Dilling - Gene Editing for Agriculture in Latin America & the Caribbean | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nGene Editing for Agriculture in Latin America & the Caribbean\nKatie Barnhill-Dilling\, PhD\, Senior Research Scholar at the Genetic Engineering and Society Center\, NC State\nProfile | Twitter @barnhilldilling \nA broad overview of the GES Center project (funded by the InterAmerican Development Bank) that has explored the relevant policy and capacity for developing gene edited crops in Latin America and the Caribbean. \nAbstract\nGene editing tools for agriculture have certainly been the subject of great promise\, hope\, and hype the world over. However\, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the ways in which regulatory systems and other institutions will manage and govern products made with gene editing. In a project funded by the InterAmerican Development Bank\, we have explored the regulatory policy context and institutional capacity for developing and bringing to market gene edited products for agriculture throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. This talk will provide an overview of the project itself and share high level results of our analysis\, including the results of policy analysis\, stakeholder interviews\, and case study development. \nRelated links:\n\nCRISPR in Latin America and the Caribbean project page with publications and resource files\nPresentation slides\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Katie Barnhill-Dilling is a social scientist with the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at NC State University\, where her research explores engagement as a tool for just and inclusive governance of emerging environmental biotechnologies. With training at the intersection of Science\, Technology\, and Society studies (STS) and environmental science\, policy\, and governance\, Dr. Barnhill-Dilling works on projects that include a range genetic interventions for environmental issues such as species protection and ecosystem restoration\, as well as governance of gene drive systems and other genetic tools for both agricultural and public health applications. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions. Colloquium will be held in-person in Poe 202\, as well as live-streamed via Zoom. Please subscribe to the GES newsletter and Twitter for updates .

SUMMARY:Paul Enriquez - Defining Genome Editing | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nDefining Genome Editing\nPaul Enriquez\, JD\, PhD\, Attorney with Covington & Burling LLP\nWebsite \nThis talk explores the fundamental question of what genome editing is and ought to mean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIN-PERSON ONLY – NO ZOOM THIS WEEK. Request meeting with Paul Enriquez > \n×\nAbstract\nDespite the prominence and constant stream of genome-editing breakthroughs in recent years\, there is surprisingly no unified or standard definition for the term genome editing. Scientific literature has devoted substantial ink to discussing how the technology was developed\, its mechanisms of action\, what it can be used for\, how it can be improved to increase its efficient use\, and so on without attempting to attach any specific or particular meaning to the term. \nThe increasingly interdisciplinary expansion of genome editing in a wide range of fields—spanning scientific\, legal\, economic\, social\, ethical\, philosophical\, and policy-related areas of study—guarantees that inconsistent meanings\, interpretations\, and uses of genome-editing definitions and terminology will obfuscate future discussions regarding what measures\, if any\, society should implement to promote or hinder technological development. Congruity and uniformity on genome-editing terminology is needed at this point to facilitate predictability in statutory and regulatory interpretation and avoid the institution of inadequate laws and policies. This presentation reflects on a fundamental question: What does it mean and\, more importantly\, what should it mean when people use the term genome editing? \nRelated links:\n\n“Rewriting Nature.” Rewriting Nature: The Future of Genome Editing and How to Bridge the Gap Between Law and Science\, by Enríquez Paul\, Cambridge University Press\, Cambridge\, 2021\n\nSpeaker Bio\n… \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions.

SUMMARY:Andrea Rissing - Diversification as Landscape Change: Understanding Cropping Trajectories in Eastern North Carolina | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nDiversification as Landscape Change: Understanding Cropping Trajectories in Eastern North Carolina\nAndrea Rissing\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, School of Sustainability\, Arizona State University\nWebsite | Twitter @FoodSystemsASU \nPreliminary findings from mixed-methods research that investigated why one county in Eastern North Carolina is trending strongly towards diversified cropping systems while its neighboring county is rapidly simplifying. \nAbstract\nAlthough modern farming tends towards specialization\, diversified agriculture can mitigate the drivers and effects of climate change alike. In North Carolina\, the agricultural landscapes of two bordering counties starkly diverge. Both display surprisingly high productivity\, but one has been trending sharply towards simplified crop landscapes\, and its neighbor\, towards diversified. \nAs part of a mixed-methods project\, this talk presents a comparative\, historically informed analysis of these two counties through the perspectives of diverse farmers and stakeholders. It analyzes how differential effects of 20th century changes in agricultural policy\, agronomic characteristics\, and historical path dependencies together embedded neighboring farmers’ decision-making within distinct contexts leading to distinct crop geographies. Drawing on land-use theory\, we suggest that approaching crop diversification as a form of landscape change helps to explain these dynamics and identifies the multi-scalar drivers of crop diversification. \nThe presentation also discusses the methodological process of merging “big” data from national-level datasets with “deep” data from farm visits and oral history interviews\, and points towards future research opportunities created by such mixed-methods approaches. \nRelated links:\n\nSwette Center for Sustainable Food Systems\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Andrea Rissing is an Assistant Professor of sustainable food systems in the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University. Her research themes include U.S. farmers’ diverse livelihood strategies\, processes of agrarian change\, and local food system governance. She received her PhD in cultural anthropology in 2019 from Emory University\, and completed postdoctoral research fellowships at The Ohio State University and Emory University before starting at ASU in Fall 2022. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions.
