The Travill Debates

Established in 1997, the Travill Debates honor the legacy of Dr. A.A. (“Tony”) Travill by fostering rigorous, respectful discourse on the most provocative issues in medicine. This annual tradition challenges medical students and faculty to argue opposing sides of timely ethical propositions through a structured format that values evidence, eloquence, and wit. More than a contest of ideas, the debates celebrate the critical thinking and intellectual curiosity essential to the shared pursuit of knowledge at Queen’s University.

HHRC 2024 Recap

The Queen's Health and Human Rights Conference (HHRC) is an annual event that is entering its 25th year as of 2025-2026. HHRC aims to provide students and community members with the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary conversations about health topics from a human right lens with multidisciplinary perspectives. Wholly student-organized, the conference attracts a diverse audience of fellow students from the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels, as well as community members and even students from other universities across Canada. Over the last 25 years, HHRC has welcomed activists, academics, front-line workers, and many others to the stage to challenge and encourage participants to consider health and human rights more deeply.
