Episode Three
Welcome to the Double Helix History Podcast, presented by Prof Jerome de Groot & Dr Matthew Stallard.
In this podcast we will be discussing the impacts of family history, and particularly DNA testing, on questions of identity, ethnicity, and nationality and the benefits as well as ethical conundrums that are being brought to the fore as genetic genealogy becomes more prevalent.
As well as hearing from focus group discussions with family historians, we also have interviews with researchers engaging in research and advocacy on the cutting edge of many of these debates.
Dr Erin Battat explores some the of issues around the "ethnicity"profiling she has conducted with Ancestry.com.
Dr Krystal Tsosie of Vanderbilt University is a geneticist and bioethicist and a leading advocate for the rights of indigenous communities in ownership and protection of both biological knowledge and samples as well as cultural heritage.
Cheryl Garnett and Omer Jean Winborn are members of the Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society, prominently involved in genealogical and heritage projects, who discuss the challenges of African American family history research and the impact genetic testing has had on their studies.
