Tenenberg (Engineering, UW Tacoma) in conversation about the stakes, technologies, and stories of high risk.
What if you’re living with “high risk” for future disease? Maybe it is a genetically identified risk, maybe it is family history risk. What do you do with that knowledge—and who decides what disease risk means and how you should live?
Monday, May 18, 2026 | 5:30 PM Peaks & Pints Taproom (21+ only) 3816 N. 26th Street Tacoma, WA 98407
What does it mean to live with a “high” disease risk in our contemporary moment—and how does it differ from earlier formations of “risk factors”?
How genetic risk scores are shaping screening, reproduction, and everyday decision-making
Who interprets risk data? What is at stake in continuous recalculations of risk with new technologies?
What happens when you resist or refuse?
Faculty, students, community members, and curious citizens are welcome. Free and open to the public. No registration required.e stakes—and the stories—we tell about our genetic pasts and possible futures.

Speaker Bios
[1] Salon | Jan. 13, 2025 | Genetic Technologies, Technologies of Genetics
Christian Anderson is an Associate Professor at UW Bothell and an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersections of human geography, urban studies, cultural studies, science and technology studies, and critical social thought. In his previous work, his primary mode has been ethnographic. He is increasingly interested in practicing place-based collaborative methods—including oral histories, mapping and geo-visual techniques, and other qualitative approaches—within various contexts and structures of community-embedded collective study and knowledge production.
Across all of his work, Anderson’s abiding aim is to understand how ordinary people’s everyday lives, routine practices, relations, and taken-for-granted or “common sense” conceptions of the world interconnect with broader formations of culture, power, social reproduction, and political economy. Additionally, he seeks to experiment with conscientious place-based processes and protocols through which alternative conceptions, practices, relations, formations, and futures might emerge.
Shannon Cram is an Associate Professor at UW Bothell and an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersections of geography, anthropology, science and technology studies, and the environmental humanities. Her research explores what it means to reckon with an unevenly contaminated environment and how managing exposure shapes the very definitions of health and hazard in the United States. Her work investigates the embodied politics of waste and wasting, with particular attention to the co-production of science and social life. She analyzes how frames such as risk, reason, pollution, and protection recognize (and fail to recognize) environmental impacts. In examining how such forms of recognition have come to be, she also asks how they might be reimagined. This concern with how power circulates in and through situated histories of toxicity is central to her scholarship.
Malia Fullerton (Department of Bioethics and Humanities, School of Medicine)
Stephanie Malia Fullerton, DPhil, is Professor in the Department of Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is also an Adjunct Professor in the UW Departments of Epidemiology, Genome Sciences, and Medicine (Medical Genetics), as well as an affiliate investigator with the Public Health Sciences division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. She received a PhD in Human Population Genetics from the University of Oxford and later re-trained in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) research with a fellowship from the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute. She currently serves as Director of Research for the department.
Fullerton’s work focuses on the ethical and social implications of genomic research and its equitable and safe translation for clinical and public health benefit. She co-leads (with Sarah Nelson) ELSI research focused on data governance in the context of emerging cloud-based biomedical data storage and analysis platforms (R21 HG011501). She serves as a co-I with the Polygenic Risk Methods in Diverse Populations (PRIMED) Consortium coordinating center (U01 HG011697), and previously served as the ELSI PI for the Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER) coordinating center (U24 HG007307). She has prior experience with qualitative research, particularly in association with the UW Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network, now in its fourth phase (U01 HG008657). She has also contributed expertise to the Ethics of Inclusion project (R01 HG010330) as well as to a project focused on community engagement surrounding APOL1 genetic testing in African Americans (R01 HG007879).
Lisa M. Hoffman (she/her/hers) is Professor in the School of Urban Studies at UW Tacoma. Trained in cultural anthropology, her scholarship has focused on questions of power, governing, and social change, with a particular interest in subjectivity and its intersections with spatiality. Geographically, the majority of her work has been located in urban China, with an extension of these organizing questions into other realms in the United States, such as science and technology studies, ethnic identity, and homelessness. Her analytical approach has been strongly influenced by the work of Michel Foucault – especially in terms of how she thinks about power, sources of authority, and subject formation processes. Her current research project – “Being ‘high risk’ for cancer: personal genetics, the present self and managing future disease” – engages science and technology studies and considers how genetics and precision health are shaping subjectivity and contemporary practices of living. It is concerned with what is at stake when cancer risk assessment scores and other more personalized prevention practices (e.g., genetic testing) become increasingly commonplace, expanding the number of people identified as at-risk. The project includes ethnographic fieldwork with individuals identified as high risk for cancer, clinicians doing early detection work, and experts (e.g., in nutrigenomics, genetic counseling) who help people manage their present lives for a potential future illness. It also includes research on institutional alliances that lead to the production of knowledge about cancer prevention as well as computational practices producing health risk scores.
Sarah Nelson(Genetic Analysis Center, Dept. of Biostatistics, UW Seattle)
Sarah Nelson is an interdisciplinary researcher interested in the ethical and social implications of genomics in research, clinical care, and everyday life. She is a Senior Research Scientist and Project Manager at the Genetic Analysis Center within the University of Washington (UW) Department of Biostatistics. She holds a PhD and MPH in Public Health Genetics from UW. Her graduate studies in Public Health Genetics have provided her with uniquely interdisciplinary training in the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetic research and its translation into clinical and consumer settings.
[2] Salon | Jan. 14, 2025 | Bioethics and Human Flourishing
Tim Brown (Department of Bioethics and Humanities, School of Medicine)
Tim Brown joined the Department of Bioethics and Humanities in the School of Medicine in July 2021 as an Assistant Professor. He earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Washington, after earning a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is also a founding member of and long-term contributor to the Neuroethics Thrust within the Center for Neurotechnology at UW. He also leads diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts with the International Neuroethics Society. He works at the intersection of biomedical ethics, philosophy of technology, (black/latinx/queer) feminist thought, and aesthetics. His research explores the potential impact of neurotechnologies—systems that record and stimulate the nervous system—on end users’ sense of agency and embodiment. His work also interrogates neurotechnologies for their potential to exacerbate or create social inequities, in order to establish best practices for engineers. Finally, Dr. Brown’s approach to research is interdisciplinary, embedded, and relies on mixed methods; his work on interdisciplinary is aimed at encouraging deeper collaborations between humanists and engineers in the future.
Amy Hinterberger (Department of Bioethics and Humanities, School of Medicine)
Amy Hinterberger is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioethics and Humanities in the School of Medicine at the University of Washington. Prior to joining University of Washington in 2024, she was Associate Professor in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King’s College London, UK. She has also held positions at the University of Warwick (2013 – 2017), Harvard University (2014), University of Oxford (2011 – 2013) and University of London (2010 – 2011). A sociologist by training (PhD, LSE, 2010), her research addresses the ethical and political dynamics of biomedicine and biotechnology. Amy currently leads a team of researchers exploring the ethics and politics of stem cell models for human disease and development through a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award in the Social Sciences and Humanities called ‘Biomedical Research and the Politics of the Human’ ($753,351: 2020 – 2025): politicsofthehuman.org. Using qualitative empirical and ethnographic research methods, the project is designed as a social and ethical exploration into the changing relationship between humans, animals and biomedicine. Her research interests span multiple areas of innovation and technology, focusing particularly on cell-based technologies and genomics. Exploring the relationship between inequality and the social implications arising from emerging technologies is a key aspect of her scholarship. Additionally, she is interested in the intersections between sociology and bioethics, particularly in exploring the institutional governance and regulation of both humans and animals in biomedical research.
