Description
Thinking Differently about HIV/AIDS: A Critical Social Science Approach This book explores the limits of mainstream approaches to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and challenges readers to develop alternate solutions. It places particular emphasis on the value of critical social science perspectives, examining various knowledge frameworks such as governmentality studies, institutional ethnography, Indigenous knowledges, conversation analysis, actor-network theory, and more. The contributors investigate topics including the criminalization of HIV, epidemiological and media constructions of the epidemic, HIV non-disclosure, treatment adherence, and others. This Canadian anthology is the first to bring together critical social science perspectives on HIV/AIDS, demonstrating how these approaches can inform rethinking research and action required to address the epidemic. By engaging with different knowledge frameworks, this book offers a fresh perspective on the complex issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, highlighting the need for critical social science in addressing the epidemic.
