A Montgomery Lecture

With

Riva Lehrer

Samantha L. Schroth, PhD
MD Candidate, M3
Medical Scientist Training Program
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

Most Disabled people encounter the world of medicine as patients and outside observers. It is unusual to be able to observe and experience what it means to be both—disabled and practitioner.  Riva Lehrer, artist, writer, and Instructor in Medical Humanities, will be joined by Samantha Schroth,  who holds a PhD in Immunology and is currently an MD candidate, for a lively exploration of their differing perspectives, drawn from their overlapping identities.

This lecture will include a brief reading from Ms. Lehrer's memoir, Golem Girl, along with images of her recent work. Ms. Lehrer currently has a solo show at Zolla Lieberman Gallery, including a portrait of a Northwestern physician.
