Shameka, Dr. Carroll, and Dr. Ciaffa

This Community Initiative sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Teaching has been developed to study the history, techniques and social consequences of the Human Genome Project. The community in the Implementation Phase of this project is comprised of two faculty and one student: Dr. Jay Ciaffa from Philosopy and Dr. Marion Carroll with student Shameka Darisaw from Chemistry. Objectives in this implementation phase are for our student to prepare a research paper on a relevant topic and give an oral presentation of this paper at the end of this phase. the faculty will be implementing the discussion and resources developed in the first phase into courses scheduled for the Fall 2003 and Spring 2004 semesters. This phase will conclude with desiminations via a submission to Bioscience and XulaNexus and with departmental presentations.

Here is provided a link to the minutes of our meetings during this Implementation Phase.
