  Consequential Genetics Education: Investigating Racial Health Disparitie
 s in Diabetes\nAbstract: Research in genetics education has shown that stu
 dents and adults espouse problematic deterministic and essentialist views 
 that contribute to racial bias. Thus far instructional antidotes have focu
 sed on countering these views by promoting more complex understandings of 
 population and multifactorial genetics. While such countering is necessary
 \, we have argued this is insufficient and that in addition we need to foc
 us instruction on the socio\, political\, and historical dimension of huma
 n genetics. Towards this end we have developed a high school genetics unit
  focused on the phenomenon of diabetes. In this unit students learn about 
 the biological and genetic basis for diabetes as well as the environmental
  factors that are risk factors for this complex condition. In examining th
 e role of the environment students explore the sociopolitical contexts tha
 t have resulted in dispossessed neighborhoods and stressful living conditi
 ons that create high risk environments. The unit was implemented in two hi
 gh school classrooms and initial findings suggest that students shifted aw
 ay from essentialist and deterministic views of genetics. Students also de
 veloped a nascent sociopolitical awareness that recognizes environments as
  non-neutral and harmful\, however\, students rarely connected this realit
 y to broader sociopolitical forces like racism and how such forces create 
 harmful environments.\nSpeaker Bio\nRavit Golan Duncan is a professor of L
 earning Sciences with a focus on Science Education at the Rutgers Graduate
  School of Education. Dr. Duncan has several lines of research that focus 
 on epistemic practices\, justice-oriented teaching\, and learning progress
 ions. She spends much of her time designing instructional materials that a
 re aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and that also promo
 te meaningful and consequential learning for students. Dr. Duncan coordina
 tes and teaches in the Biological Sciences Certification Program\; prepar
 ing the future secondary teachers in New Jersey. She is an Associate Edito
 r for the Journal of the Learning Sciences. This year she is was the Past 
 President of the International Society of the Learning Sciences.\nHosted b
