Jennifer Beard

Beard was the founder of the BU Program for Global Health Storytelling^[2] which brings together the BUSPH, the BU College of Communication, and the Pulitzer Center. Her “scholarship explores the intersection between population health, the arts and humanities, and journalism; and the health and well-being of key populations at high risk for HIV and trauma including sex workers, drug users, orphans, and other highly vulnerable children.”^[1]

Beard, from 2010-2014, was the principal investigator for the Ghana Operations Research for Key Populations project in collaboration with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, the Ghana AIDS Commission, and USAID.^[1]
