About the talk
The focus of this talk is on how Indigenous people accused of HIV non-disclosure are represented in Canadian news. Dominant discourses used in this news coverage contribute to HIV stigma and to reproducing settler colonialism. Dr. Snyder will consider how public discourse about Indigeneity, HIV, and law could be radically different if Indigenous feminist and queer legal ethics were centered and if the complex issues that shape the HIV crisis were regularly and meaningfully accounted for.
