Presents

A Montgomery Lecture

Context and Conversation on Just Mercy: 
Approaches from Medical Humanities and Bioethics

What can Just Mercy – this year’s One Book/One Northwestern selection – bring to thinking about problems in medicine? And what might thinking from medicine bring to engaging with Just Mercy and its examination of systemic racism in our criminal justice system?  Come join the MHB faculty and community as we extend the campus-wide conversation around Bryan Stevenson’s memoir to explore the relationship between medicine and justice. Whether you have read the book, seen the 2019 film, or just heard enough to be curious, we will offer different possible routes into the text – drawing on disciplines such as history, law, and literature to provide points of departure – and create space for lively discussion.
