Julia Creet, The Genealogical Sublime: New Narratives of Numerical Selves
MillerComm2022 – September 13, 2021 – Zoom event
Professor Julia Creet of York University presented on her latest research on the genealogy industry. Her research explores the widespread phenomenon of desiring to know one’s ethnic origins to thus better “know” oneself, as well as the complex practices behind the major organizations with genealogical databases. Her work in multiple media thus explores questions of data privacy, identity politics, ethics, and genetics.
