From 2006 to 2009, the Visiting Consortium Professorship brought to campus major scholars, researchers, and policymakers to further collaborative work on the societal implications of biomedicine and the life sciences. In addition to delivering a major public address, the Visiting Consortium Professor taught and met with students and faculty. The annual Visiting Consortium Professorship was made possible by funding from the University of Minnesota President’s Interdisciplinary Academic Initiative in support of the Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences.
