SWC Scientific World Conceptions

GENOMICS: PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS AND POLICY

Vienna, July 3-14, 2017

Over the last two decades, genomics has emerged as a powerful site for not just re-configuring understandings and enactments of life, but also for understanding how these conceptions and enactments form in tandem with modes of ordering and governing lives. The two-week course explores conceptual innovations that draw these co-productive  processes into view, as well as the histories and philosophies that deepen our understandings of not just genomics, but also our ever elusive efforts to make sense of life.

Course fee: EUR 880,-

Lodging in student dormitories is available at approximately EUR 400-450 for the whole duration of the course.

Application deadline: February 15, 2017 (Later applications may be considered if space is still available)
