...year to evaluate the role of arts at Harvard. The task force is chaired by fellow English Professor Stephen Greenblatt, in addition to student and faculty membership. The College unveiled new secondary fields in music and dramatic arts, giving more recognition to what used to be offered only as extracurricular activities. During the talk, Garber said she was anticipating the task force’s report, which will be released later this fall.
