25 Year History of AIDS: The U.S., Israel, and South Africa on the Anniversary of the Epidemic
Purpose: To become familiar with major shifts in policy approaches to the AIDS epidemic on the part of both the State and advocacy groups; frame those shifts in terms of particular national political and social cultures; identify key policy challenges that have arisen during the AIDS epidemic and differentiate between the national contexts in which they were resolved; identify the interplay between science and politics; and provide insight into the globalization not simply of the AIDS epidemic, but also policy and activism.
