BU LGBTQIA+ Scholar Series: Risk and Resistance:
Jump To
Aziza Ahmed, will speak at “BU LGBTQIA+ Scholar Series: Risk and Resistance: How Feminists Transformed the Law and Science of AIDS” on Friday, March 3. This virtual event will run from 12:00-1:30 pm on Zoom.
Aziza will speak about her new book in which she documents the feminist struggle for women to be recognized as victims of the AIDS crisis. In this powerful account of activism to save lives, feminists succeeded not only in turning the heads of policy makers towards issues facing women, they shifted scientific and epidemiological understandings of HIV.
Ahmed is the author of the forthcoming book Feminism’s Medicine: Law, Science, and Social Movements in the AIDS Response, published by Cambridge University Press and coeditor of the forthcoming handbook Race, Racism, and the Law, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
