In October, faculty, staff, and students from across Johns Hopkins University gathered for an evening of thought-provoking discussion and collaboration, exploring the intersection of the arts, humanities, and Planetary Health—past, present, and future.
“It was truly a thought-provoking conversation on the power of creative expression and the humanities in shaping collaborative, thoughtful visions of our shared future. For me, it emphasized the value of humanistic approaches in fostering empathy, promoting environmental stewardship, and driving interdisciplinary efforts to address critical Planetary Health challenges, whether they are playing out in South Baltimore or Brazil.”
