- W2903315761 abstract "It has been stated that a thing of our world like no other. It is a concept that has had a long, prominent, and (usually) less than constructive role in world history. And it remains the focus of intense academic debate. But despite this central role and continued scrutiny, it is a concept that remains awfully difficult to define. What is race? Is it how we view ourselves or how we are categorized by others? Does it relate to skin color or ethnic background? Is it the discrete and simplistic categories created by European biologists in the 1700s or a more nuanced social community generated by shared cultural experience? Of course, can be all of these things and none of them. Its meaning and definition change depending on context, perspective, and time.It is this complexity of meaning that is largely missing from the interesting and provocative paper by Professor Michael Malinowski. As in all his work, Professor Malinowski has done a truly impressive job of drawing together a large amount of diverse commentary. And he takes a brave position. By advocating for race-based genetic research, he seems to be swimming against the prevailing currents in academia. In fact, Professor Malinowski's thesis is not as controversial as it initially sounds. He is not promoting research on the biological and genetic foundations of (which is the research activity that causes the most uniform cautionary response). Rather, he suggests that we need to recognize the value of exploring genetic diversity and using as a research variable. Research on genetic variability has already led to many interesting health related findings. Malinowski hints throughout his paper that we should not let politics and fear of misuse interfere with this potentially valuable research-a sentiment with which I have great sympathy. But despite these and many other worthwhile points, Professor Malinowski's paper does miss some of the key themes in the current and research debate. In this brief Commentary, I seek to highlight a few of these themes, with a particular emphasis on those that relate to the representation and definition of race. Indeed, I believe it is how race is represented and defined (or _not_ defined) that creates some of the primary challenges associated with the current wave of genetic variability research." @default.
