Call For Papers: Book Discussion: Religion and HIV and AIDS: Charting the Terrain, Edited by Beverley Haddad, 2011. HIV and AIDS have been around for more than 30 years and taken million of lives and millions more live with the virus today. Scientific and social scientific studies of the virus and the development of AIDS have helped defined our understanding of the crisis. Scholars of religion have for several years now carried out research and published essays, monographs, and books on the subject. Religion and HIV and AIDS: Charting the Terrain, edited by Beverley Haddad is not just one of such books, but a creative collaborative study focusing on religious and theological perspectives of HIV and AIDS. This book comes out of the Collaborative for HIV and AIDS, Religion and Theology (CHART) convened by Beverley Haddad at the University of KwaZulu Natal in Pietermaritzburg. It highlights the place and role of religion in the public realm of health, religious and theological perspectives on HIV and AIDS, the social and communal dimensions of HIV AIDS. Its unique feature is that the book includes perspectives, dialogue and response to the essays from activists and people living with HIV and AIDS. Panelist will discuss the wide range of topics addressed in this book which could be read as a “state of the discourse” on HIV and AIDS and offer critical perspectives on the scholarship as well as our understanding of the multiple dimensions of HIV and AIDS from a religious and theological perspective and the impact HIV and AIDS has made on individuals, families, society, and the postneocolonial state.
