Margaret Rhee
Margaret presents AIDS, Asians, and #IAmNotAVirus in the AIDS, COVID-19, and the Medical Humanities session which focuses on the relationship between AIDS and COVID-19. Panelists explore the fundamental axiom of the medical humanities that health disparities subtending pandemics are not simply epidemiological but also socially, politically, culturally, and narratively produced. Presentations seek to understand how AIDS might constitute a political barometer and cognitive map in thinking about rhetorical logics subtending COVID-19.
