Remaking a Life: How Women Living with HIV/AIDS Confront Inequality

Recorded March 22, 2021
For decades, stories about women living with HIV/AIDS often centered stigma and tragedy. While the injuries of inequality continue to undermine structural care and self-care for many, models of thriving must also inform our conceptual landscape. Join us to hear different stories - about the policies and activism that support the transformation of individual women’s lives, and the ongoing transformation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic itself.
Featuring author Dr. Celeste Watkins-Hayes, and co-panelists Drs. Vincent Hutchings, Daphne Watkins, and Alford Young, Jr.

Forgotten Bodies: Conversations on Research & Recognition elevates research that inspires or demands new paradigms of human dignity. The title is borrowed from poet Claudia Rankine’s declaration, “I am invested in keeping present the forgotten bodies.” Each conversation provides models of relevant, necessary research that resists past patterns of exclusion and expands our sense of community. Authors will discuss recent projects, the process of writing as a political act and their vision for informing activism, policy and practice.
