HIV / AIDS Education for Adults: New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, Number 105

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Contributors from the United States, Canada, and Australia, working in university-based and community-based environments and for divergent communities--present specific experiences in the fight against HIV/AIDS. They share stories of shifting paradigms and challenging norms, and of seeking and finding innovation. Topics examined include the struggle for meaning and power in HIV/AIDS education, HIV prevention workers and injection drug users, community-based research, grassroots response to HIV/AIDS in Nova Scotia, sex workers and HIV/AIDS education, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and legacy recruitment for experimental vaccines. By examining HIV/AIDS through an adult education lens, we gain insights into how communities (and governments) can respond quickly and effectively to emergent health issues--and other issues linked to marginalization. This is the 105th issue of the quarterly report series "New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education."
