<p>In this episode, my peer Samantha Ratner joins me to jointly interview two guests: Dr.Tamar Goldwaser and Dr.Felicity Boardman.

Episode 4: Genetics, Race, and Ancestry
<p>I interview Dr.Adam Van Arsdale, a Professor of Anthropology at Wellesley College who researches how personal genomic information affects our understanding of ourselves and what it means to be human. In this episode, we explore how genetic testing, especially direct-to-consumer testing, can affect how we think about concepts like race, ancestry, and identity. We also consider the extractionist tendencies of genetics, leaving off with some examples of how Indigenous communities are resisting biocolonialism. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Credits:</p> <p>Sound bites of President Clinton and Francis Collins come from the NIH's recording of the Draft of the Human Genome Sequence Announcement at the White House.
