Discover the connections between arts and public health through study in Durban, South Africa and Mbabane, Swaziland. The six-week course, Arts and Public Health in Action: Study of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland and South Africa, will offer students the opportunity to work with some of the world's best artists in community-engaged practice. We are proud to announce that Clowns Without Borders and the acclaimed dance company Siwela Sonke are our artistic partners in Africa this year! The course will be taught by Assistant Professor Rebecca Rugg, from Yale School of Drama, together with Gamal Palmer, M.F.A. from Yale School of Drama, and Meredith Coleman-Tobias, M. Div from the Yale Divinity School. Students will have the opportunity to explore Durban and Swaziland on their own and through organized program activities.
