Knowledge of AIDS is an NSF Funded Research Community Development (RCD) project which facilitates and supports the development of a scholarly community for social scientific, humanistic, and socio-technical researchers of HIV/AIDS broadly situated within the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS).
This community’s development has been facilitated by three workshops, focused on the themes of:
Archive of HIV/AIDS
Archive of HIV/AIDS
The historical, sociocultural, and technological aspects of archiving HIV/AIDS-related materials and the cultural memory of the pandemic.
Expertise about HIV/AIDS
Expertise about HIV/AIDS
The forms of expertise that have emerged in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, including medical, scientific, political, and community-based expertise.
Civic participation in HIV/AIDS
Civic participation in HIV/AIDS
The role of individuals, communities, and organizations in the HIV/AIDS discourse, policy, and activism.
The Knowledge of AIDS is a robust in-person and online community, supporting nascent research collaborations through the distribution of small grants, and meaningful crossgenerational mentorship between early-career scholars and established scholars. Activities are organized with the aim of bridging past findings to socio-technical studies of HIV/AIDS with contemporary trajectories in the field. The RCD will support the next generation of STS scholars focused on HIV and its intersections with other long pandemics.
