Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well and rejuvenated (as much as current conditions allow). The LGBTQ+ focus group will begin its open reading group focusing on issues related to the AIDS epidemic this Thursday, January 14th at 6:30pm EST. Distinguished scholar David Roman will be facilitating this first discussion. The first text that will be discussed is Douglas Crimp's 1987 article "How to have promiscuity in an epidemic." We welcome all who would like to be present for this conversation. Watch this forum and/or our Facebook group for details about how to join. Warm regards, Laurelann Porter, MFA, PhD
