The panel discussion will take place from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. in Garrett Great Hall. Lunch will be provided. Moderated by Batten School Professor Eric Patashnik, the panel will feature the following experts:
Timothy Jost, Professor of Law, Washington & Lee University

Sidney Milkis, Professor of Politics, U.Va. and Faculty Associate at the Miller Center of Public Affairs
Milkis will provide context for the debate around healthcare by putting the healthcare battles in a larger historical perspective and by looking at past struggles over reform legislation during the Progressive, New Deal and Great Society eras.

Riley has written and presented extensively about health care law, biomedical research, genetics, reproductive technologies, stem cell research, animal biotechnology, health disparities and chronic disease. She and Jost were recently featured in an article about court rulings.
