Addressing HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence

The Research School of Humanities presented the Work-in-Progress Seminar Series on 3rd April. Professor Rosemary Jolly, Department of English, IPPH & SARC, Queen’s University spoke on “Implicit Lies, Stigma, and Silence: the humanities’ crucial contribution to addressing HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence effectively’.

Professor Jolly says, “This paper developed out of my work on highly stigmatized issues, such as gender-based violence and STI co-infection, within the context of deeply impoverished communities affected by histories of compounded trauma and structural oppression in the form of colonialism and racism. It attempts to outline what critical theory drawn from the humanities can bring to our understanding of the stigmatized subject of HIV/GBV.”
