ON IMPLICIT LIES, STIGMA, AND SILENCE: THE HUMANITIES' CRUCIAL
CONTRIBUTION TO ADDRESSING HIV/AIDS AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
EFFECTIVELY 

Professor Rosemary Jolly, 

Department of English, IPPH & SARC, Queen's University

 

This paper developed out of my work on highly stigmatized issues, such
as gender-based violence and STI co-infection, within the context of
deeply impoverished communities affected by histories of compounded
trauma and structural oppression in the form of colonialism and racism.
It attempts to outline what critical theory drawn from the humanities
can bring to our understanding of the stigmatized subject of HIV/GBV.
