The Montgomery Lectures series addresses diverse topics within bioethics and the medical humanities. Presenters are faculty, affiliates, and alumni of the Medical Humanities and Bioethics Graduate Program—along with special guests. The lectures run every other Thursday from noon to 12:45pm during The Graduate School's fall, winter, and spring quarters. They are open to students, faculty, and the general public. Formerly called “Special Topics in MH&B,” this series was renamed in 2013 for Emeritus Professor Kathryn Montgomery.
