Dr. Rothchild is an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and
Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School and the author of "Broken
Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and
Resilience". She worked with a health and human rights project, collaborating
with Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and the Palestinian Medical Relief
Society. In her book, she brings to life the voices of people mutually entwined
in trauma and conflict, and explores individual examples of resilience and
resistance.

In 1997, through her involvement in the Boston Workmen's Circle, a progressive
secular Jewish organization, Dr. Rothchild turned much of her non-medical focus
to understanding the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and its relationship to US
foreign policy and American Jewry. She co-founded and co-chairs Jewish Voice
for Peace, Boston and co-organized the Jewish American Medical Project, now
called the JVP Health and Human Rights Project.


Co-Sponsors: UW Global Health Resource Center, Northwest International Health
Action Coalition (NIHAC), the Friends of Palestinian Medical Relief Society and
UW Global Health and Justice Project.
