ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to thank our communities of people living with HIV, activists, lawyers, public health, young and old, quiet and loud, for your support, engagement, critiques, challenges, and commitment to just treatment for people with HIV. We express our great appreciation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS, H. van Ameringen Foundation, ViiV Healthcare, John Swaner and Gregory Whiting, Linda Meredith, and Josh Sapan for their belief in and considerable financial support for Sero’s work and mission in 2013. Prepared by Laurel Sprague, Research Director, The Sero Project, April 5, 2014 © The Sero Project, 2014 3 PART I: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES In 2013, the Sero Project conducted approximately one speaking engagement per week for a total of 53 events, including community forums, conference presentations, and trainings. More than 2100 people participated in these events. The topic for the majority of engagements was HIV criminalization, with the remaining engagements focused on the People Living With HIV (PLHIV) self-empowerment movement and the importance of PLHIV networks. Groups in the HIV field (AIDS service organizations and networks of people living with HIV), universities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender organizations sponsored most of the engagements. A particular outreach was made to law schools and graduate schools of public health. Other sponsoring organizations included legal, medical, government, and racial justice groups and international and national conferences. The sponsoring organizations and groups are listed below by category. Organizations and groups that fit into more than one category are listed twice. A full list of speaking engagements is provided in Appendix A. In addition to these speaking events, the Sero Project was invited by the New York Public Library to submit a workshop proposal about HIV stigma and criminalization for youth. Sero’s proposal focused on interactive socio-dramas, performed by trained young people. The library accepted the proposal for their youth program. The first programs are expected to take place in the second half of 2014.

KRISTEN L. MCCAULIFF BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, IN MAY 2017 ii Acknowledgements I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to everyone who made this thesis possible. First and foremost, I have to thank Dr. Kristen McCauliff for taking a chance on an unknown kid (me) and agreeing to be his thesis advisor way back in January of 2016. Little did we know then that our meetings would inevitably turn into weekly gab sessions about television and movies? I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But beyond that, you pushed me to think critically and to evaluate the media I constantly consume with such vigor and passion. And for that, I am forever grateful. It may have taken you over a year to watch Looking, but that’s okay. Next, where on earth would I be without my thesis committee, Dr. Glen Stamp and Dr. Rob Brookey? Glen, you made choosing Ball State for my Master’s the easiest decision in the world—not only because your APA is always immaculate, but also because you never failed to remind me that my voice had merit and my ideas were valuable. Your undying support means the absolute world to me. Rob, the second we sat down for lunch and you told me how you had recently become obsessed with Difficult People, I knew I wanted to learn from you.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.
