A practicing internist, Dugdale moved to Columbia in 2019 from Yale University, where she previously served as Associate Director of the Program for Biomedical Ethics.

Human beings focus much more on living well than on dying well. But is this the right ratio? How should we make sense of human finitude? A six-hundred-year-old book provides an answer. Lunch is provided at this event for those who RSVP.
