Join Humanities in the Pandemic for a rapid-response town hall led by international thought leaders dedicated to addressing the emergent role of the arts and humanities in the COVID-19 pandemic.
This program seeks to address an anxious public looking for ways to understand how history, arts, medical humanities, social activism and advocacy can help chart new ways to rebuild communities that are fractured from epidemics, whether those epidemics be infectious health emergencies like COVID-19, or social health emergencies like racism and inequity, or even imagined health emergencies as portrayed in countless novels, films and works of art. Both panelists will identify three ways humanity might remake the world for a better post-pandemic future.
Panel:
- Frank Snowden, Andrew Downey Orrick Professor Emeritus of History and History of Medicine, Yale University
- Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Spoken-Word Artist, Modern Day Griot (African Storyteller), Sozo Artists
