A three day event exploring the transformations and genealogies of the human from a multidisciplinary perspective. The conference will trace two overlapping lines of inquiry: one devoted to biotechnology, bioethics, and biopolitics (tissues, stem cells, genomics, IVF, the making of the human body) and the other to neuroscience, neurotechnology, and neuroethics (creativity, sovereignty, identity, emotion, plasticity, the making of the human mind and brain).
