College Ethics Institute Summer Faculty program "Teaching Ethical,
Legal and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project," June

genetic literacy and to introduce some of the key ethical, legal and
social implications of human genome research to undergraduate students.

liberal arts colleges and universities who demonstrate a commitment to
teaching with a multidisciplinary approach. At Hamilton she teaches
