Susan Dodge-Peters Daiss, Memorial Art Gallery and Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics at URMC, will give a talk on portrayals of HIV/AIDS from the 1980’s to the present in posters, photography, and other forms of public art. Her insights into the social and political contexts of these artworks will show the impacts of the disease on patients, family members, and health care providers.

Cristin Finch, Professor of Health Studies at Monroe Community College, will share results from research on cultural influences on images of women’s bodies, and MCC students who developed strategies to counteract negative images.
