World AIDS Day Conference at UT, Dec 1

The Second Annual University of Texas World AIDS Day Conference

December 1, 2008
Texas Union, Eastwoods Room

A university-wide conference designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas ongrassroots, civil society and governmental responses to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. We envisage this one-day conference as an opportunity to continue to build a university-wide public sphere around HIV/AIDS. In so doing,
we aim to contribute to community and institution-building, and to make an intellectual contribution to related pedagogical and activist initiatives. This event would be in conjunction with the World AIDS Day initiatives of the Queer Students Association (QSA), FACE AIDS and Students' Coalition Against AIDS (SCAG).

Director of the Nyaka School Initiative, Uganda
