Title : "Genetic Genealogy, Empathy, and the NPE Community"
"NPE" is what happens when a person takes a consumer DNA test and discovers that their biological parent is "Not the Parent Expected." It's often a shock for individuals, and the discovery can trigger conflict and rejection both in the family they were raised with, and in their biological family as well. We will explore the history and culture surrounding how we identify family, and how consumer DNA testing has re-framed these concepts. Students will gain insights into the challenges faced by those experiencing NPE, developing empathy and practical skills for supporting individuals through this often turbulent journey of self-discovery. The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and sensitivity needed to approach genetic surprises with understanding and grace.
