DESCRIPTION:The roots of biology are inextricably bound to the politics of
  empire. Human classification began in service of European expansion\, and
  with it came the foundations of race and scientific racism that we endure
  today. Contemporary genetics has thoroughly demolished the biological con
 cept of race\, but the legacies of this pernicious history persist in our 
 data\, our labs and our scientific language. These echoes serve neither sc
 ience nor scientists\, and to know our own history is the first step in fi
 xing this legacy. \n\nThe lecture will end with a live Q&A session\, follo
 wed by a drinks reception in the Lee Hall Foyer. Please make sure to "book
