Resistance: The Sixth Annual Northwestern Bioethics and Medical Humanities Conference
Friday, May 19, 2023
Save the Date
The Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities and the Medical Humanities & Bioethics Graduate Program are excited to announce this one-day conference dedicated to engaging the Northwestern and Chicagoland community in the rich, multidisciplinary research and scholarship of our field.
Registration will be free and will open in February 2023.
Keynote Presentation
Louise P. King, MD, JD (Harvard Medical School) and Katie Watson, JD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) will consider clinicians’ options and obligations in response to criminal laws prohibiting the provision of abortion care.
When legislatures pit the freedom and livelihood of clinicians against the health and self-determination of pregnant people, what could or should resistance look like?
Call for Proposals
We are seeking proposals for short oral presentations, and invite submissions from health-care providers, fellows, faculty, graduate students and alumni, and medical students who have ties to Northwestern University or other medical centers and academic institutions throughout Illinois.
For this conference we encourage you to think about resistance in multifaceted ways. We welcome broad and even unexpected interpretations of the theme.
We are also interested in proposals that focus on other topics related to bioethics or medical humanities that are not directly tied to the theme.
