Join authors Alexandra Juhasz and Theodore (Ted) Kerr in conversation with BEBASHI founder Rashidah L. Abdul-Khabeer, RN, MHS, PhD, and writer and activist Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad, moderated by Max Wagh. John Anderies, Director of the John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives, will then give a tour of the Archives, highlighting specific collections relating to HIV/AIDS history. There will also be materials on display within the Archives on the theme of AIDS memorialization.
The event will use Juhasz and Kerr’s book We Are Having This Conversation Now:The Times of AIDS Cultural Production (Duke University Press, 2022) as a jumping off point for how to discuss HIV/AIDS in local contexts past, present, and future.

Masks will be required for attendees in both the conversation space and in the Archives.
