Ari Honarvar Wrote About The Emerging Field of Neuroaesthetics

For Nonprofit Quarterly, Ari Honarvar wrote about the emerging field of neuroaesthetics and its implications for health equity.

In the article, Honarvar examines the origins of neuroaesthetics, tracing it to a neuroscientist and professor in the University College of London during the late 1990s. According to Honarvar, the term “describes the intersection of brain sciences and the arts.” 

She writes, “Creating systems that integrate art into daily life is a step toward reducing health disparities, especially for communities experiencing high levels of stress, trauma, and limited access to culturally relevant, trustworthy, and affordable care.” 

Honarvar’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, Vogue, Washington Post, and The Guardian.
