HIV Out Loud & History of Medicine Lectures
Did you miss our Spring History of Medicine lecture? On May, 28th, Drs Rachel Pearson and Yolanda Crous presented HIV Out Loud: Building the History of an Epidemic.
HIV Out Loud is a project focused on training health sciences students to become oral history interviewers. The doctors and their students interviewed local LGBT individuals about their lives and lived experiences, focused on the topic of HIV and its impact on their lives, as well as their advocacy work in their community.
The interviews will be collected and stored in the University Archive.
The lecture took in an interview-style format, with the doctors asking each other questions about their time working on the project. It also included audio clips and pictures from the participants.
Watch the lecture.
