Genetic knowledge: the contribution of sociologies

Dyson, Simon (Book chapter)

Different sociologies have a contribution to make in terms of identifying problems with untheorized notions of lay knowledge about genetics. This chapter reviews the insights afforded by different sociological traditions, ...

Genetic screening and ethnic minorities.

Dyson, Simon (Article)

No theory of 'race' and ethnicity is without serious practical drawbacks for effecting selective screening for haemoglobin disorders. Universal screening raises issues about consent, resources, and eugenicist representation ...

Genetic traits as pollution: ‘White English’ carriers of sickle cell or thalassaemia

Dyson, Simon (Book chapter)

From April 2004, the policy for neonatal screening for sickle cell in England has been to base the screening on universal principles (offer the screening to all new-born babies) rather than selective screening (an attempt ...

Genetics and Global Public Health: Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.

Dyson, Simon; Atkin, Karl (Book)

Sickle cell and thalassaemia are among the world’s most common genetic conditions. They are especially common in Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia. They affect all ethnic groups but they particularly ...
