Academia versus Activism
This chapter was inspired by reading a number of contributions to The Oxford Handbook of Global LGBT and Sexual Diversity Politics and asks three interconnected questions: How can one best understand the range of experiences of and the attitudes toward people whose sexual orientation or gender expression is regarded as diverging from socially prescribed norms? Is the language of sexual rights the most appropriate in defending sexual and gender di…

The effects of emotional and rational news appeals on politicalattitudes
The present study investigates how emotional and rational appeals in political news media stories interact with preexisting attitudes in changing citizens' political attitudes. It is hypothesized that news media appeals that match predispositions are more likely to affect attitudes than mismatching media appeals. That is, people holding attitudes primarily based on affect should be more susceptible to emotionally arousing media content than to ra…

International norm polarization
International norm polarization is a rare but recurring process within international norm dynamics. Polarization describes the most combative response to attempted norm change: ‘a candidate norm is accepted by some states but resisted by others, leading to a period of international disputation between two groups in which socializing pressures pull states toward compliance with rival norms’. We identify several cases of polarization and explain th…

The increase in global HIV epidemics in MSM
Epidemics of HIV in MSM continue to expand in most low, middle, and upper income countries in 2013 and rates of new infection have been consistently high among young MSM. Current prevention and treatment strategies are insufficient for this next wave of HIV spread. We conducted a series of comprehensive reviews of HIV prevalence and incidence, risks for HIV, prevention and care, stigma and discrimination, and policy and advocacy options. The high…
Queer Centres and Peripheries
Gradually queer theory, which emerged out of the particularities of academic and political situations in the USA in the 1990s, has begun to interrogate its relationship to the rest of the world. It is, of course, not surprising that analysis of (homo)sexuality from within the USA should be largely US-centric, remarkably uninterested in developments in other countries, even those as seemingly close in culture and politics as Canada and the United …

Thinking politically about HIV
AIDS has a uniquely political history. Its early association with stigmatised homosexual behaviour and more liberating gay identity activism set the precedent for highly effective mobilisation. The results were unparalleled in global health. AIDS was briefly treated as high politics and attracted increased funds to achieve the ambitious goal of universal access to HIV prevention and treatment. If AIDS is to maintain its visibility and contributio…

The search for national identity
This article, extracted from a political memoir, discusses the author's own experiences of identity as a first generation migrant in a country undergoing rapid transformation from one with a dominant Anglo-Irish culture to one in which multiculturalism, while contested, has become a reality. It further reflects upon the impact of the American counter culture on Australia in the 1960s and 1970s, and the importance of this for political identities …

Aids and the globalization of sexuality1
This article builds on the author's book, Global Sex, to consider how globalization has impinged upon changing sexual mores and behaviours, and how these, in turn, are related to the spread and control of HIV and AIDS. AIDS has made the sexual possibilities of social and economic change more central to public policy, and concentrated political attention on the ‘breakdown’ of traditional cultural and social structures, whether these are the ideali…

Its main goal was to recognize Jonathan Mann for hiscommitment to the struggle against HIV/AIDS.Jonathan Mann is probably best known for his work with the World Health Organization and the publicationof the two volume book entitled AIDS in the World. In this address the concept of vulnerabili…
Sexuality and globalization
Sexuality and globalisation
Globalisation has an impact on all aspects of life, including the construction, regulation and imagination of sexuality and gender. This article aims to suggest some of the ways in which this impact is occurring, primarily in the developing world, with some emphasis on questions of HIV, sexual identity, and human and sexual rights. In issues of sexuality, as in other spheres, globalisation increases inequalities, acting both as a liberatory and a…
Evaluating non-randomised intervention studies
OBJECTIVES: To consider methods and related evidence for evaluating bias in non-randomised intervention studies. DATA SOURCES: Systematic reviews and methodological papers were identified from a search of electronic databases; handsearches of key medical journals and contact with experts working in the field. New empirical studies were conducted using data from two large randomised clinical trials. METHODS: Three systematic reviews and new empiri…
Aids and Security
The war on terrorism has drawn attention to non-conventional threats to security, even as it led to conventional warfare in the case of the attack on Iraq. HIV/AIDS is arguably an even greater threat to security, with the effect of destabilizing the social and economic order to the extent that the very survival of entire nations is at stake. This article examines both the security implications of AIDS, and the various international responses aime…

The cost-effectiveness of three smoking cessation programs
This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness and distribution of costs by program stage of three smoking cessation programs: a smoking cessation class; an incentive-based quit smoking contest; and a self-help quit smoking kit. The self-help program had the lowest total cost, lowest per cent quit rate, lowest time requirement for participants, and was the most cost-effective. The most effective program, the smoking cessation class, required the most…

Writing the Self
At some level all writing is both autobiographical and therapeutic. This is clearly not true for writing which is incidental to other tasks (such as writing reports or taking minutes) and it is an unexceptional claim when made of fiction. This claim is perhaps most controversial when advanced as a proposition about academic writing, and indeed much of the impenetrable jargon of certain sorts of social science and literary criticism may well stem …
HIV, Homophobia, and Human Rights
Ever since its discovery AIDS has been intricately linked with homosexuality. Stressing the connection between homosexuality and AIDS leads to stigmatization. Danger lurks in both stressing and denying links between homosexuality and HIV. The danger is that messages on safer sex will not be available thus more men will be at risk of infection because of unawareness of risks. In many countries especially in the developing world denial of the exist…
