1:30pm – 2:30pm
Virtual - https://dartgo.org/geisel-mlk
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars, Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration

Systemic inequities surely need to be addressed in many ways and on many levels. However, at the core of any approach are our own microethical decisions.  In the words of Arthur Frank, we face “a sequence of choices…Who will I realize myself to be in response to the other?"

Presenter - Rabbi Susan Harris: As hospital chaplain, Rabbi Susan Harris has worked to make Boston Children’s Hospital more sensitive to the needs of LGBTQ patients and families. Harris graduated from Brandeis in 1978 and was ordained by Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in 1984. In 2001, Harris became a chaplain at Boston Children’s Hospital, where she works with patients, serves on the Ethics Advisory Committee, and educates staff on the treatment of LGBTQ patients and families.

This event is free and all are welcome.
