We are thrilled to welcome back Harriet A. Washington, MA, medical writer, bioethicist, and editor, who will give the 2021 Thomas P. Duffy lecture on September 23rd at 5 pm, our first public event of this academic year:

Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent

This roundtable discussion will also feature Joanna Radin, PhD, and will be moderated by Randi Hutter Epstein, MD, MPH.

Hear from two of Connecticut’s leading figures in environmental justice on how progress is made, from the grassroots activist level to the political level. Sharon Lewis introduces us to the work of the CT Coalition for Environmental Justice, describing the ways that they attempt to educate politicians, overcome common roadblocks, and ultimately get attention towards the most relevant issues through strategic communications.
