Dear colleagues,
This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming iteration of the seminar series
"Ecobiosocial Complexities: encounters, critiques, integrations".
Thursday, March 30th:
"The Evolution of ACEs: From Coping Behaviors to Epigenetics as Explanatory
Models for the Biology of Adverse Childhood Experiences".
Ruth Mller, Technische Universitt Mnchen & Martha Kenney, San Francisco
State University.
The session will take place from 12pm to 1:30pm at the University of Lausanne
(Gopolis building. room 2215) and will
be accessible online via Zoom: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/66516277875.
The seminars are supported by the International Relations of the University of
Lausanne (UNIL), by the Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione project
"Constructing the Biosocial" (N.185822) and, for the Spring semester, by the
STS Lab @UNIL.
The link to last semester's program is
here, and the one for the current
semester here.
We look forward to seeing you there.

SERIES ABSTRACT
This seminar series falls under the scope of the Swiss National Science
Foundation Ambizione Project "Constructing the Biosocial: an engaged inquiry
into epigenetics and post-genomic biosciences" (N.185822). The series wishes
to inaugurate a new phase of research around post-genomics, which both
capitalises on ongoing social science research (in different national and
international contexts) and puts at the center of this research and its future
interdisciplinary perspectives and collaboration. The current global landscape
of research in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) is populated
by a wealth of studies of the social dimensions of post-genomic life sciences.
More specifically, several projects grapple with the turn towards
environmental questions and social determinants of health in the life
sciences: on the one hand, it is imperative to critically assess and
deconstruct these openings in biomedical sciences; on the other hand, it is
also crucial to productively take biomedicines interest in the object of
social sciences the social as an opportunity for a new wave of
collaborative research.
The objective of the seminar series "Ecobiosocial complexities" is to connect
the results and research paths of STS scholars working on these matters, and
to identify the multiple ways forward of this research for health promotion
and society. How can we move from state-of-the-art social science knowledge on
the social and environmental turn in post-genomic life sciences to novel
epistemic, socio-political and policy approaches to the biological and social
determinants of health? What novel avenues of research are needed to achieve
this objective? What novel circulations, encounters and integrations of
scientific fields can promote biosocial research practices around
post-genomics.
