The Power of Identity and Family History

Presented by Diahan Southard

Plenary Session This session is open to all Conference attendees

Millions of people turn to DNA testing and genealogy to learn more about their origins. Why? We’ll consider what drives this quest and how powerfully these discoveries can shape lives and change perspectives. We’ll talk about the idea of intergenerational identity, epigenetics (how past generations’ experiences can get handed down in our genes), and how we can rewrite–or put a fresh spin on–the stories from our past to build a better future.
