Keynote Speaker: Dorothy Roberts

The symposium brings medical researchers, clinicians, health scholars and social scientists into conversation about the way that genetic ancestry information may influence observers’ perceptions of others’ race, and the implications that may have in both social and medical contexts. Participants will engage with presentations and discussions that will inform future research agendas on how genetic ancestry, appearance, self-identification, administrative health records and other sources of information may differentially shape patients’ experiences and health outcomes.
