Towards an Equitable Future: Genetics Engagement Beyond Academia (workshop) – National Harbor, MD
March 9, 12:45 pm - 1:45 pm
Marnie and Rob will lead a workshop for exploring challenges, opportunities and best practices for public engagement on genetics and society. Participants will reflect on the need and impacts of multidirectional conversations with public audiences on scientific, personal, and societal dimensions of genetics and have opportunities to practice such conversations with peers. We will introduce freely available resources, model conversation starters, and share approaches for fostering engagement around genetics in ways that center on varied communities’ priorities and concerns. The conversation will draw on expertise in the room through discussion of past experiences, and provide guidance for attendees to reflect on existing approaches or explore new ideas and directions.
