Harrison Lecture, Thursday Feb. 15, 5 pm in GRH 1074: "There's Nothing Religious About an Appendectomy"

  • Tuesday, February 6th, 2024

Dr. Ronit Stahl will present a lecture “There's Nothing Religious About an Appendectomy: The Complex History of Religious Hospitals in the United States" for the History Department's annual Lowell Harrison Distinguished Lecture. This talk is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Gary Ransdell Hall auditorium (room 1074) on Thursday, February 15 at 5pm. 

This talk is drawn from her current book project, which explores the rise of institutional and corporate rights of conscience in health care. In her talk, Dr. Stahl will discuss a curious classification puzzle that has flummoxed judges, legislators, and ordinary Americans alike—are religious hospitals religious?—and why this matters for understanding the history of health care in the US.
