In the space of little more than a decade, ideas human genome have shifted significantly, with emergence notion that an individual changes development, age, disease, environmental inputs, and time. This paper examines life span, one experiences drift, instability, mutability, host other temporal changes. We argue developments in chromatin biology provided basis for this genomic embodiment experience exposure. analyze how time has come to matter through chromatin, providing analysis examples...
What constitutes "human reproduction" is under negotiation as its biology, social nature, and cultural valences are increasingly perceived bound up in environmental issues. This review maps the growing overlap between formerly rather separate domains of reproductive politics politics, examining three interrelated areas. The first emergence an intersectional justice framework activism health science. second biomedical delineation environment reproduction development object research...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental characterized by challenges in social communication and interaction restricted or repetitive behavior, interests, activities. Although ASD symptoms generally manifest early childhood, many individuals experience delays accessing an autism diagnosis related services. In this study, we identify the individual, social, structural factors that influence parents' experiences of children's diagnosis.Parents 25 children with participated 60- to...
Research on autism and environmental risk factors has expanded substantially in recent years. My analysis draws attention to the regimes of perceptibility that shape how environment is materialized post-genomic science. I focus more complex narratives autism's causes social anxieties surrounding child development have helped situate women's bodies before during pregnancy. This resulted what call maternal body as show this figure involves three characteristics: molecularization environment,...
In this article, we explore current thinking and practices around the logics of difference in gene–environment interaction research post-genomic era. We find that scientists conducting continue to invoke well-worn notions racial diversity, but use them strategically try examine other kinds etiologically significant differences among populations. Scientists do by seeing populations not as inherently homogeneous or heterogeneous, rather actively working produce homogeneity along some...
This article builds on feminist scholarship new biologies and the body to describe temporal politics of epigenetic research related human placenta. Drawing interviews with scientists observations at conferences in laboratories, we argue that simultaneously positions placenta tissue as a way back into maternal fetal bodies following birth, lens onto children’s future well-being, bankable resource for ongoing research. Our findings reflect how developmental models health have helped recast an...
This essay examines the arguments for and against working towards objective of human germ line engineering medical purposes. Germ changes which result as a secondary consequence other well designed ethically acceptable manipulations somatic cells to cure an otherwise fatal disease can be seen acceptable. More serious objections apply intentional interventions because unacceptability using person solely vehicle creating uncertain genetic change in his descendants. It is also morally...
Abstract Environmental epigenetics has become a site of growing attention related to the intergenerational effects stress, trauma, and adversity. This article draws on multi‐sited ethnography epigenetic knowledge production in United States Canada document how scientists conceptualize, model, measure these experiences their children's neurodevelopmental behavioral health. We find that scientists’ efforts identify molecular adversity results temporal focus mother–child dyad during early life....
<ns4:p>In this Open Letter we bring together researchers from the Biosocial Birth Cohort Research (BBCR) network to reflect on interdisciplinary research and methods within birth cohorts draw attention social science approaches field, which argue are underutilized. A more comprehensive consistent integration of would expand scope value with cohorts. We critically engage three specific areas cohort that provide significant opportunities for exchange across disciplines; how exposure is defined...
This article develops the concept of epigenomic stories to analyze how scientists describe and study relationships between environmental epigenetics, health inequities, social justice. Based on a multisited ethnography epigenetic knowledge production its circulation across laboratories, clinics, communities in United States Canada 2016 2021, we build Black feminist science studies scholarship convey racial, gender, epistemic consequences stories. We argue that these reflect position...
