SUMMARY:Fernanda Santos - GE Foods Regulation - The U.S. Way | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nGE Foods Regulation – The U.S. Way\nFernanda Santos\, PhD\, Teaching Assistant Professor\, Food Science\, NC State University\nWebsite | Twitter @fbnsncstate \nThis discussion aims to give participants some thought-provoking information on how food is generally regulated in the U.S.\, in addition to a general overview of the process utilized by the regulatory bodies to approve genetically engineered foods for human consumption. \nAbstract\n“The definition of food law used to be a simple one – it encompassed food regulatory law with two main audiences: lawyers and the regulated food industries. Today\, however\, food law is often broadened in meaning to include all law related to agricultural trade\, such as how food is grown\, humane animal treatment\, and environmental rules for farms and processors.” (From Food Regulation by Neal Fortin) \nThe development of genetically engineered foods created an even greater (and heated) discussion linked to several complex issues\, especially safety in terms of consumption and the understanding of their impact on the environment. So\, the question is: “How should these foods be regulated?” The United States takes a more relaxed approach compared to the strict rules of the European Union. Despite the differences\, the final goal is the same: ensuring that foods entering the markets are safe for consumption. This presentation will summarize the main characteristics of the regulation of genetically engineered foods in the United States. \nRelated links: \n\nFortin\, N.

During her veterinary training\, her primary focus was zoonotic diseases and disease prevention. Then\, she focused her work on pathogen growth in foods of animal origin\, quality control programs\, and molecular tools. She has also studied alternative methods and nutritional strategies to improve performance and reduce Salmonella intestinal colonization in poultry. Currently\, at NC State\, her focus is food safety and course development. She is responsible for the graduate food safety minor and teaching several courses in the food science program\, including food laws and regulations and food product development. She has also created a new series of courses\, “The Discover Series”\, which are food science-related courses that are taught not only to food science/nutrition students but also to any undergraduate student who seeks to understand the science behind foods and controversial topics of food and nutrition. \n\nGES Colloquium (GES 591-002) is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions. Colloquium will generally be live-streamed via Zoom\, with monthly in-person meetings in the 1911 Building\, Room 129. Please subscribe to the GES newsletter and Twitter for updates .

SUMMARY:2023 Buchdahl Lecture in Science\, Technology and Human Values with Shobita Parthasarathy
DESCRIPTION:2023 Buchdahl Lecture in Science\, Technology and Human Values with Shobita Parthasarathy\nAre Innovation Systems Stacked against Equity?\nDr. Shobita Parthasarathy\, professor of public policy and women’s and gender studies and director of the University of Michigan’s Science\, Technology and Public Policy program\, will deliver the 2023 Buchdahl Lecture. Her talk is titled “Are Innovation Systems Stacked Against Equity?” \nAbstract\nThere is growing awareness that our innovation system reflects and sometimes even reinforces social inequity and injustice. Marginalized communities rarely experience direct benefits from innovation investment. Structural biases are built into devices like facial recognition and the pulse oximeter\, while many life-saving technologies are inaccessible to those who need them most. In response\, governments\, philanthropic foundations and the private sector have begun to support “inclusive innovation\,” technological development explicitly for — and often also by — marginalized communities. Parthasarathy\, a pioneer in inclusive innovation\, will argue that in their current form\, these initiatives are unlikely to be successful. To produce significant positive change\, we will need to fundamentally reimagine our approach to innovation\, innovators and technical expertise. \nSpeaker Bio\nShobita Parthasarathy is Professor of Public Policy and Women’s and Gender Studies\, and co-founder and Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program at University of Michigan. Her research examines the political economy of innovation and innovation policy focusing on equity and justice\, and the politics of knowledge and expertise in public policymaking\, often in cross-national perspective. She is the author of numerous articles and two books: Building Genetic Medicine: Breast Cancer\, Technology\, and the Comparative Politics of Health Care (MIT Press\, 2007) and Patent Politics: Life Forms\, Markets\, and the Public Interest in the United States and Europe (University of Chicago Press\, 2017). The former influenced the 2013 US Supreme Court case that determined human genes were not patentable; the latter won the 2018 Robert K. Merton Award from the American Sociological Association. Her current book project examines the history and consequences of “tech for good” initiatives around the world. Parthasarathy is committed to translating scholarly insights to public and policy audiences; in 2021\, for example\, she testified twice in front of the US Congress on equity in energy innovation. She has written for Nature\, The New York Times\, Slate\, and Issues in Science and Technology among other publications\, and co-hosts The Received Wisdom podcast about the intersections of science\, technology\, policy\, and society. She tweets @ShobitaP.
