Elizabeth Dietz is a postdoctoral fellow in bioethics and the history of genomics at the National Human Genome Research Institute. Their work examines how the social processes by which fundamental concepts like “sex” and “informed consent”  and “medical necessity” come to be important in varied contexts and to varied ends. Their book project, No Choice But to Choose, examines how informed consent is used (sometimes simultaneously) to hold individuals responsible for structural problems, ensure autonomy, define personhood, and call specific accounts of justice into being. Their work at NIH takes an STS approach to questions of the role of genomics in our understanding of sex classification.
