Dr. Matthew Thomann parses the relationship between the State, AIDS, and sexual minorities in Africa

In a special edition of DOWiA, anthropologist Dr. Matthew Thomann presented his work in Cote d'Ivoir on Monday, February 15th. His presentation untangled the complicated relationship between AIDS care, NGOs, and sexual minorities as they are understood on Africa's South Atlantic Coast. His talk was the second in a series that departs from DOWiA's initial focus on archaeology and heritage-related presentations. Although it was a special Monday session of DOWiA, Dr. Thomann's presentation saw the DOWiA audience grow to its largest number yet.
