Andrew Jolivette headlines World AIDS Day at UCR
Thursday, December 1, 2011
6pm to 7pm @ HUB 302 - FREE
Description: Andrew Jolivette (Opelousa/Atakapa-Ishak) Ph.D., will speak about how race and sexuality intersect to create social and sexual risk. Jolivette is an associate professor in American Indian Studies, Educational Leadership, and Critical Race and Resistance Studies at San Francisco State University. His work spans many different social and political arenas - from education reform and cultural representation in Native America to community of color identity issues, critical mixed-race movement building, LGBT/Queer community of color identity issues and gay marriage, and AIDS disparities within Indigenous and people of color communities. Part of The Well's Educational Speaker Series, this talk is supported by the Committee on HIV/AIDS in recognition of World AIDS Day.
