It is our pleasure to welcome this month's second guest blogger,
Ronit Stahl. Stahl received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan. She also holds a Masters degree in Social Sciences in Education from Stanford University. She is currently a
Fellow in Advanced Biomedical Ethics at the
University of Pennsylvania. Prior to her move to Penn, she held a post-doctoral fellowship at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis.
As this unique series of fellowships suggests, Stahl's work brings together research areas that are not often combined: religion, health policy, and the regulatory state. All are incorporated into her new book
Enlisting Faith: How the Military Chaplaincy Shaped Religion and State in Modern America (Harvard University Press, 2017). She is also the author (with Ezekiel J. Emanuel) of "
Physicians, Not Conscripts - Conscientious Objection in Health Care," which appeared in the
New England Journal of Medicine in April 2017.
Welcome, Ronit Stahl!
