2024 ALIGN Seminar series: The cultural and historical contexts of Aboriginal people and genomic research (part 1)

Topic: The cultural and historical contexts of Aboriginal people and genomic research (part 1) 

This seminar contributes to an ongoing learning process about the historical and cultural contexts of Genomic research and Indigenous people in Australia. How has western science impacted Aboriginal people? How can we begin to address this legacy ? How can Aboriginal knowledges inform our work? Over two presentations we will begin to explore these questions and more.
