What is ours to do?” Connection during a pandemic’s time of shelter-in-place
This paper describes a 2020 effort by the Cities Research Group of the University of Orange, United States, to create and pilot educational materials that could help organizations participate in collective recovery from the converging crises of the Covid-19 pandemic, racial oppression and climate change. Because of “shelter-in-place” strategies for reducing pandemic spread, the city as a site of human activity was fundamentally altered, undermini…
What We “Cannot Not Know in America”
The 400 Years of Inequality Project was created to call organizations to observe the 400th anniversary of the first Africans landing in Jamestown in 1619. The project focused on the broad ramifications of inequality. Used as a justification of chattel slavery, structures of inequality continue to condition the lives of many groups in the US. Over 110 organizations joined this observance and held 150 events. The highlight of the year was the homil…

White People's Stories (based on what I have been told by women I know)
The social construction of ARVs in South Africa* *This article is based on a longer study that was developed in collaboration with Sexuality Policy Watch, with funding provided by the Ford Foundation.…
An estimated 5.5 million people are currently living with HIV/AIDS in South Africa, 4.9 million of them between the ages of 15-49, 18.8% of the total population in that age bracket (Department of Health, Republic of South Africa 2006). The potential medical and social benefits of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) would be substantial, but South Africa's leaders have faulted in their response to AIDS from the very beginning, particularly President Thab…

Images Against Teen Pregnancy
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON’S 1996 welfare reform legislation, the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Act, included an initial allocation of $50 million to fund abstinence-until-marriage education programs in the nation’s public schools. This provision was a triumph for social conservatives who had spent 3 decades campaigning to have schools teach sexuality from an exclusively conservative moral vantage point, if at all. Since passage of the bill,…

Global Transformations and Intimate Relations in the 21st Century
To Think of Peace in a Time of War
Fee Et Al. Respond
Mathy’s letter continues a process that began with unusually vigorous discussion among several of the editors regarding the specific Images of Health contribution to which Mathy refers. It reinforces our rationale for venturing to address a topic that often elicits controversy yet deserves increased attention. Referring to the biographical particulars of a single individual, while not the usual way of framing discussions of policy or evaluation o…
In the Shadow of the Object
Much of the work of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender past has involved finding or creating spaces in which to know ourselves and become known to others. Given the role such spaces play in supporting the formation of identities and communities, “queer geographies”may be said to reflect discontinuities and sympathies between psychic and social spaces, complicating the distinction between public and private. Histories of queer psychic and…

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health
Resurfacing
As a result of AIDS, gay male sexual culture has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Among the questions raised are those concerning the relationship between anonymous public sex and the development of a visible and politically engaged community. As part of an ethnographic analysis of a popular public sex site in New York City, the West Side Piers, the author documents how AIDS defines discussions of sex, identity, and community. …
