Part 5 - Genetic Genealogy and the Invention of Indigenous Ancestry by Darryl Leroux

Darryl Leroux studies the connections between national genomics and genealogy in Quebec. His research explores how newer DNA-based technologies are interacting with older blood-based ones to redefine understandings of race and racism. His project employs conventional ethnographic research in three regions of Quebec, as well as a dynamic "virtual" ethnography component that includes online genealogy forums.
