SUMMARY:Krystal Tsosie - Indigenous data ethics in genomics and health | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nIndigenous data ethics in genomics and health\nKrystal Tsosie\, PhD\, MPH\, MA\, Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow and Co-Founder\, Native BioData Consortium\, at Arizona State University\nWebsite | Twitter @kstsosie \nOur DNA\, our data\, our health\, our rights: thinking beyond mere inclusion in genomics datasets and thinking about equity and Indigenous data sovereignty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis colloquium is part of the two-day workshop series with Dr. Tsosie\, “Genes and Society: Decolonizing Human Genetic Research\,” organized by NC State’s Being an Ally in Academics (BAA) group\, the Genetics and Genomics Academy (GGA)\, the Genetic Engineering and Society Center (GES)\, and TriCEM. The goal of this series is to explore the current and historical intersections of racism\, systemic inequalities\, and human genetic research with an emphasis on inviting diverse and historically underrepresented groups as seminar speakers. \n\nAbstract\nFor far too long\, Indigenous peoples have been the subjects of genomics research and datasets. If we as scientists are not too careful\, current efforts to increase inclusion of diverse\, underrepresented populations\, such as Indigenous populations\, may repeat ethical harms of past large-scale diversity projects. \nRelated links:\n\nEstablishing a blockchain-enabled Indigenous data sovereignty framework for genomic data (PDF*)\,\nMackey T.K.\, Calac A.J.\, Keshava B.S.

SUMMARY:Jean Goodwin - What is "Denialism"? | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nWhat is “Denialism”?\nJean Goodwin\, JD\, PhD\, SAS Institute Distinguished Professor of Rhetoric & Technical Communication\, NC State\nWebsite | Twitter: @jeangoodwin and @PublicSci_NCSU \nWhat drives polarization on contested issues like GMOs? We’ll discuss one potentially surprising factor. \nAbstract\nPublic debates have been trending increasingly bitter and polarized since the 1990s\, increasingly so over the last decade. Science-heavy debates on issues like climate change\, pandemic policies and of course agricultural biotechnology are no exception. In this “work in progress” presentation I review recent scholarship on the extent\, drivers and implications of polarization in the two most studied situations: US politics (liberal v. conservative\, Democrat v. Republican) and climate change. I close by inviting participants to reflect on the significance of this lit review for “denialism\,” “anti-science\,” “war on science” et sim. in the GMO debates. \nSpeaker Bio\nA twisty path through law and classical rhetoric has led Dr. Jean Goodwin to an interest in scientists’ participation in civic controversies. As a member of the Leadership in Public Science cluster\, “I not only ‘think’ but also ‘do’ that\,” helping with programming intended to foster commitment to\, and capacity for\, public-facing science at NC State University. \nGoodwin received her bachelor’s degree in mathematics and her J.D. from the University of Chicago\, and her Ph.D. in communication arts from the rhetoric program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition to more than 25 years in the classroom introducing undergraduates to the rhetorical tradition\, she has mentored graduate students across a variety communication subfields and academic departments. Her essays have been published in international journals in communication\, philosophy and the sciences. She has served as a consultant on initiatives by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Union of Concerned Scientists to define the appropriate roles of scientists as advocates. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions.

SUMMARY:Panel: Cinematic Narratives and the Construction of Science’s Public Image | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nOut of the lab and onto the screen: how cinematic narratives construct the public image of science & technology\nAgBioFEWS Cohort 3 Organized Guest Panel with:\n  ›  Leah Ceccarelli\, PhD\, Professor at University of Washington\n  ›  David Kirby\, PhD\, Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Cal Poly University – San Luis Obispo\nDrawing on perspectives from rhetorical criticism and media studies\, Drs. Leah Ceccarelli and David Kirby discuss the role of popular science-fiction films in shaping public perception of scientists and emerging biotechnologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: This week’s GES Colloquium will only be held via Zoom with no in-person meeting. Happy Thanksgiving! \n×\nAbstract\nDystopias\, biological warfare\, and near human extinction are common tropes in science-fiction film and television. These representations not only provide entertainment\, but reflect deep-seated fears and hopes for scientific and technological futures. This is especially true for biotechnology (think Stephen King’s The Stand and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park)\, where cinematic narratives can shape the public’s imagination of scientists and their practices. Because the interplay of science and media is an important force shaping our understanding of innovation\, scientists should be interested in what’s playing on the big screen. \nWith that in mind\, members of GES’s AgBioFEWS Cohort 3 have invited Drs. Leah Ceccarelli and David Kirby to lead a discussion on popular science-fiction films and their impact on the public’s orientation to science and technology\, with a special focus on scientists’ credibility and genetic engineering. \nRelated links:\n\nKirby\, D.A.

She directs the University of Washington’s Science\, Technology\, and Society Studies Graduate Certificate program. Selected as a Fellow of the Rhetoric Society of America\, and as a recipient of the National Communication Association’s Douglas W. Ehninger Distinguished Rhetorical Scholar award for her career of research\, she has also received national awards for her two books on the rhetoric of science\, and for a couple of her articles. She serves on several editorial boards and is co-editor of a book series on Transdisciplinary Rhetoric sponsored by the Rhetoric Society of America and Penn State University Press. \nDr. David A. Kirby (@king_gwangi and @CalPolyCLA) is Professor and Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in the Liberal Arts and Director of the Science Technology & Society Program at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. His research examines how movies\, television\, and computer games act as vehicles of scientific communication. Several of his publications address the relationship between cinema\, genetics and biotechnology. He has also explored the collaboration between scientists and the entertainment industry in his book “Lab Coats in Hollywood: Science\, Scientists and Cinema.” He is currently writing a book titled “Indecent Science: Religion\, Science\, and Movie Censorship.” \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions.
