Gender, Culture and HIV in the 21st Century

The Section for Women and Gender Equality, together with the Culture and Social and Human Sciences Sectors, will host a public lecture on Thursday, 4 October 2007 from 6:30 pm to 8pm in Room XIII of Bonvin featuring Professor Vinh-Kim Nguyen from the University of Montreal speaking on Social Triage: Gender and the response to HIV.

Professor Nguyen is an associate professor in the department of social and preventive medicine as well as an HIV physician and medical anthropologist. He is also serving as co-editor for the upcoming publication The Fourth Wave: An assault on Women - Gender, Culture and HIV in the 21st Century, which is being collaboratively produced by UNESCO and the Social Science Research Council.

Scheduled for release in the spring of 2008, the publication brings together more than a dozen accomplished authors, senior policy makers and new scholars to offer original insights and empirical analyses of socio-cultural factors shaping the gendered course of the pandemic and responses to it. In preparation for this publication, an Expert Group Meeting will be held 4-5 October 2007 at UNESCO Headquarters.
