The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Integrating HIV and AIDS into the Curriculum at the University of Pretoria: Time for Transformation? By the Centre for Sexualities, AIDS and Gender.

The research contained in this report reflects the University of Pretoria’s history of involvement in HIV and AIDS as part of academic and extra-curricular programmes. There have been many role players in this work, amongst them, the Centre for the Study of AIDS, now the Centre for Sexualities, AIDS & Gender. One of the founding principles of the Centre for the Study of AIDS was to see how best HIV and AIDS could be addressed as part of the academic programme. The report uses a variety of mainly qualitative methods to document a range of approaches starting in the late 1990s and extending to the present. At the core of the report is a series of case studies that offer insights into the motivations for and processes involved in integrating HIV and AIDS into specific modules and various academic programmes.

This research was supported by the Higher Education and Training HIV/AIDS programme (HEAIDS).
