1. Research
Currently involved in collaborative study with University
of Leeds, examining attitudes towards
HIV/AIDS held by various client groups, together with perception of risk and
autobiographical factors
Data analysis by Spring 2001
2. PhD - 1998 to 2002
This will examine the role of culture in determining
perception of contagion, with a focus on HIV and AIDS.
Review and research design will approach the topic from
an anthropological perspective. Ethnography will be used in the 'field', and an
analysis of the discourse will draw upon myth, legend and
folklore in Western and 'traditional' societies, together with the relevant art, drama and
literature.
Anticipated date of completion: Autumn 2002
