Our Crowded Table Newsletters- CHHASSEM
We’re excited to expand the scope of topics and disciplines to the broader CHHASSEM community. Working Group meets weekly and is a forum for CHHASSEM-affiliated investigators, fellows, and staff to share their in-progress projects and receive constructive feedback. Working Group meetings are a chance to spark collaboration, broaden approaches, and strengthen projects with input from across disciplines.
Do you have:
💡 A research project or activity that could benefit from working with other CHHASSEM affiliates?
🎨 Curiosity about incorporating arts, humanities, history, ethics or social science methodologies into your work?
🩺 A patient or clinician survey in development that could use thoughtful interdisciplinary feedback from experienced researchers?
This meeting is designed as an informal working group not a formal presentation. For more details look under the How We Can Help section.
If you are interested in scheduling or have questions please contact Amy @ [email protected]du
Summer working group meetings are scheduled as requested. The regularly scheduled series run from September through May.

The Bishop Lecture in Bioethics
The University of Michigan Medical School was the beneficiary of funds for the establishment of the Ronald C. and Nancy V. Bishop Lectureship in Bioethics. Both were graduates of the University of Michigan Medical School (Class of ’44). Ronald Bishop joined the U-M Medical School faculty in 1951 and pursued a career in research, teaching, and patient care in the Department of Internal Medicine, Hematology Division, until his retirement in 1987. He served as Director of the Unit for Human Values in Medicine (1981-1984) at the Medical School, and as a visiting scholar at the Hastings Center. Both Ronald and Nancy were strongly committed to social justice and were active members of the Ann Arbor community.

The Woll Family Speaker Series is a monthly talk by national leaders exploring the intersection of health, spirituality and religion. It is open to medical trainees, faculty and the general public. The speakers represent the diversity of this broad field and have included writers, clergy, doctors and academics. The content is different than the typical bioreductionist perspective that is inherent to much of medical school curriculum.
