About the Marguerite D’Youville Lecture: This is a public lecture on science, medicine and Christianity, with the aim to encourage a constructive and open conversation between the sciences and the humanities, and in particular between scientists, theologians, and ethicists. The lecture has been named after Marguerite D’Youville, a founding figure in Montreal’s history, who helped establish Montreal’s first hospital and the order of sisters, namely the Sisters of Charity of the Hôpital Général or Grey Nuns (as they are commonly known), who would go on to become major providers of healthcare not only in Montreal, but in Canada and parts of the United States. The lecture is co-sponsored by the Newman Institute of Catholic Studies and the Newman Centre of McGill University.
