Workstream Overview:
The Genomics and Identity Politics workstream is a joint programme of events that bring together staff from Egenis, Cesagen, Innogen and the Genomics Policy and Research Forum to investigate how genomic and genetic knowledge and practice relate to the politics of identity.
The collaboration takes the form of 5 workshops at the different centres, each of which concentrates on one aspect of genomics and identity politics in a way that links to one of the flagship research themes of the host centre.
