Crisis and Community: The Role of Health Humanities

Thursday, March 25 - Sunday, March 28

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Abstract: COVID-19 has precipitated a global crisis. In the US, existing social inequities have become more salient as poor people and people of color suffer disproportionately. Medicine and public health are overtly politicized. In June, the US erupted with social protests after the murder of George Floyd by police. Coronavirus upheavals have led to questions about the failure of pandemic planning. The racial reckoning brought attention to longstanding racism in medicine and motivated action for change. Many in the health humanities are asking, “What is our role?” The conference will explore the contributions of health humanities to health crises and imagine the future of the humanities during recovery and renewal.
