9th Annual MU Life Sciences & Society Symposium
Kinship is disputed territory, investigated by a wide array of
disciplines that include anthropology, cultural studies, evolutionary
biology, family studies, genetics, law, medicine, psychology, sociology,
and women’s and gender studies. Kinship classifications change across
cultures and over time. As measures of legitimacy and arbiters of
social standing, such categories have significant consequences. In the
contemporary world, kinship is in flux as a result of such developments
as reproductive technologies, blended families, same-sex marriage
rights, and shifting gender roles. Our kin is not limited to humans,
however. We belong to a vast evolutionary family tree, the history of
which may influence the ways we interact with kin and organize kinship
itself. The 2013 MU Life Sciences & Society Symposium, Claiming Kin, will explore the evolution of kin groups and evolving notions of kinship.
