Illinois Biology and Politics Summer Institute

最近出现了一个将生物学和政治学联系起来的新研究领域。学者们正在研究人类DNA如何影响大脑的运作，以及大脑如何影响政治态度和行为。他们还分析和评估由这项研究产生的知识所产生的伦理、法律和社会影响。这个项目将建立一个为期一周的生物和政治课程。研究生和初级教师将被邀请参加该计划，接受这一发展中的奖学金领域的培训。自然科学和社会科学的学生将在负责将生物学和政治学联系起来的教师专家的指导下并肩工作。有了这些多学科技能，他们将回到自己的家乡校园，建立自己的教学计划，提高研究生产力的流动。该项目的更广泛影响将包括为研究生和初级教师提供在前沿研究领域获得培训的独特机会。此外，该培训机构将作为组织研究生课程的基础，重点是新的生物和政治联系。

A new field of study has emerged very recently linking biology and politics. Scholars are investigating the ways in which human DNA affects the workings of the brain, and how the brain then affects political attitudes and behaviors. They are also analyzing and evaluating the ethical, legal, and social implications arising from the knowledge being generated by this research.This project will establish a one-week program on biology and politics. Graduate students and junior faculty will be invited to the program to receive training in this developing area of scholarship. Natural science and social science enrollees will work side-by-side under the direction of faculty experts who have made responsible for making the biology and politics connection a reality. Armed with these multidisciplinary skills, they will return to their home campuses and establish their own teaching initiatives and enhance the flow of research productivity.The broader impacts of this project will include providing graduate students and junior faculty with a unique opportunity to gain training in a cutting edge area of research. In addition, the training institute will serve as a foundation for organizing a graduate curriculum focusing on the new biology and politics linkage.
