Date: 2019-06-20

The AIDS Activist History project is currently being undertaken by researchers at Carleton University and Laurentian University, in conjunction with AIDS activists across Canada. It is supported by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The project aims to research the history of AIDS activism in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  We will be conducting oral histories, talking with people who struggled – and who may continue to struggle – against the criminalization and stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS, and who took action to change their medical, social, and political circumstances. Our project will collect interviews from people involved in AIDS activism in the late 80’s and early 90’s in the Canadian context. We’ll talk with people who struggled – and who may continue to struggle – against the criminalization and stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS, and who took action to change their medical, social, and political circumstances.
