Christina S Ho, Professor of Law at Rutgers University, is deeply engaged in questions around access to healthcare, law and governance – but is also a lover of ballet. We relish enriching conversations with non-dancers on Why Dance Matters, and Christina who not only cherishes her time in ballet class, but also sees ballet as a model for civil society. Issues around the right to health or the rule of law aren’t quiet questions in today’s United States – are Christina’s ballet classes a sanctuary from the onrush of turbulent headlines?

Christina S Ho is Professor of Law at Rutgers University. She previously held senior roles at the China Health Law Initiative at Georgetown University Law Center, and on the Clinton Foundation’s China program. During the Clinton Administration, she worked on the Domestic Policy Council at the White House and later led Senator Hillary Clinton’s health legislative staff. Her book, Normalizing an American Right to Health, was published last year by Oxford University Press.
