Leveraging the Arts for a Healthier & Just America

Motivated by the need to help the nation charter a pathway for an American recovery, DrPH Candidate and FXB Center for Health and Human Rights Fellow Amanda Taffy is working on a thesis entitled, The Role of the Arts During COVID-19: Gendered Expressions of Resilience & Empowerment. With the help of faculty from the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at Harvard University, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, this thesis aims to understand artists’ potent role during COVID-19, particularly on vulnerable populations. On January 28th, 2021, the Doctor of Public Health Program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will sponsor an Art Seminar, “Leveraging the Arts for a Healthier & Just America.”
