Dr. Karma R. Chávez, assistant professor of communication and affiliate faculty in Chicana and Latina Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present her research in a public lecture.
This lecture will examine the AIDS activist rhetoric used to challenge US immigration law during the 1990 and 1992 International AIDS Conferences. Their strategies offer insight into the function of rhetoric in building transnational coalitions. Their strategies also illustrate the uniqueness of AIDS activist rhetoric during a time when AIDS was, for
most, a death sentence.
