Following on Monday’s discussion of Dawn and CRISPR: a resource page on issues of informed consent and “human subjects” in research and medical experiments, particularly as it pertains to racism in the United States. If you plan to use Dawn for your final paper, and/or if you want to learn more about how informed consent is practiced in research studies, consider using resources from this page. And don’t forget about the Additional Intersectionality Resources on the D&T Top Topics page.

Field trip next Monday, October 30. We will meet nearby at 370 Jay Street, Room 220. Note that we will live 370 Jay and embark on an outdoor walking tour at 3pm. It might be rainy, but the walk is short and there are many awnings to stand under.
