Curriculum Vitae

Stacy Gallin, D.M.H., is the Founder and Director of the Benjamin Ferencz Institute for Ethics, Human Rights and the Holocaust (formerly the Maimonides Institute for Medicine, Ethics and the Holocaust). Dr. Gallin founded Athletes Against Antisemitism and Discrimination in July 2023 as a way to engage athletes—both at the student level and beyond—and empower them to use their platform to help raise awareness regarding the Holocaust, antisemitism and other forms of identity-based hate. She is a contributing editor for the Globe Post and the Times of Israel, where she writes about issues related to ethics, law, public policy and human rights through the lens of the Holocaust. Dr. Gallin co-edited the book, Bioethics and the Holocaust: A Comprehensive Study in How the Holocaust Continues to Shape the Ethics of Health, Medicine and Human Rights, published in summer 2022 and available open access as part of the "Project on Bioethics and the Holocaust," a partnership between the Ferencz Institute and the USC Shoah Foundation to develop new and innovative educational programming, including a multi-media curriculum. She also teaches an international course on ethics, human rights and the Holocaust through the Global Network for Medical, Health Professions and Bioethics Education, of which she is the Co-Chair of Education.
