THIS THURSDAY October 1, 12-1:30, Professors Lauren Freeman, Avery Kolers, and Amy Reed-Sandoval will co-present a virtual, public webinar hosted by the American Philosophical Association entitled "Medicine and Resistance Under Non-Ideal Conditions: An Exploratory Discussion".

Participation is free, and all are welcome! *Registration is required* (link below).

Here is the description: "This inquiry-based webinar explores responding to extreme patient vulnerability, especially but not exclusively in the context of heightened immigration enforcement, as a problem for bioethics. It pays particular attention to the possibility of safe and accessible healthcare delivery and the nature and scope of resistance and activism in medicine. The presentation will pose difficult questions to generate conversation for philosophers, bioethicists, and healthcare professionals about how present-day political-medical challenges are shaping the future of medical practice under non-ideal conditions. This event is a collaboration with the North American Society for Social Philosophy."

This UofL student is doing impressive things! Including a Philosophy minor. Way to go Nora!

Turning passion into purpose! 🧠💛

Junior Norah Hill is making an impact at every level—from Louisville to the global stage.

Through her work with Mission:BRAIN Foundation and Future Healers, Norah designed a Neurosurgery Coloring Book to help pediatric patients better understand their care and feel more at ease during treatment.
