Thinking Differently about HIV/AIDS : Contributions from Critical Social Science Paperback / softback
Edited by Eric Mykhalovskiy, Viviane Namaste
Paperback / softback
Description
Almost four decades after the scientific discovery of HIV/AIDS, the world continues to grapple with this public health challenge.
A successful response requires thinking differently about the epidemic, but what type of thinking can facilitate effective change?
Thinking Differently about HIV/AIDS explores the limits of mainstream approaches to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and challenges readers to develop alternate solutions, placing particular emphasis on the value of critical social science perspectives.
The contributors investigate traditions of inquiry – governmentality studies, institutional ethnography, Indigenous knowledges, conversation analysis, actor-network theory, critical ethnography, and others – to determine what these perspectives can bring to HIV/AIDS research, policy, and prevention programming.
Engaging with various knowledge frameworks, they examine the criminalization of HIV, epidemiological and media constructions of the epidemic, HIV non-disclosure, treatment adherence, and other topics.
This book is the first Canadian anthology of critical social science perspectives on HIV/AIDS, demonstrating how and why critical social science is necessary for rethinking research and action required to address the epidemic.
