** The Birth of Certainty: A Global History of the Paternity Test
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Feb. 28:  For centuries, Western legal tradition relied on the assumption “pater semper incertus est” (“the father is always uncertain”). But beginning in the early twentieth century, scientists
began a quest for a biological marker of paternity that could unambiguously link a child to his or her progenitor. This talk traces the reception of paternity science in law and social practice, showing how its consequences for men, women and children differed across national contexts; how paternity science, which coincided with the rise of eugenics, was deeply racialized from its inception; and how it migrated from family law into immigration law.
