Conference Announcement: Understanding Human Variation   

University of Alberta 
Edmonton, Canada  
September 20th-22nd, 2007  

This conference will explore human behavioral, phenotypic, and genetic
variation, how  these are or have been conceptualized, and how these conceptions
manifest themselves in everyday and scientific practices.  Some questions to be
addressed: How do we think about the dimensions to bodily and psychological
variation?  In what ways do notions of  normalcy shape up biomedical practices? 
To what extent does contemporary social policy reflect scientific views of human
variation?
