About this Talk
Emily Oster, a University of Chicago economist, looks at the stats on AIDS in Africa -- and comes up with a stunning conclusion: Everything we know about AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is wrong. We look for root causes such as poverty and poor health care -- but we also need to factor in, say, the price of coffee, and the routes of long-haul truckers. In short, there is a lot we don't know; and our assumptions about what we do know may keep us from finding the best way to stop the disease.

<p> This is a dedicated section of the Hub for the Cultural Programme for the Mexico City AIDS2008 conference - providing an opportunity for the global activist and cultural community (including those who are unable to attend the conference) to participate in building a kaleidoscopic picture of human rights-based HIV/AIDS activism and media-making around the world. </p> <p> Here you can find videos, photographs and blog posts from stakeholders on the issue (NGOs, practitioners, advocates, scholars and researchers, and people living with HIV/AIDS, or PLWHA). </p> <p> * We've highlighted some of the Hub's key media items in the Spotlight section below; to see more, just click on 'All Group Media'. </p> <p> * Watch video featuring key HIV/AIDS advocates attending AIDS2008, shot as part of a participatory video project in which attendees were provided with training on how to film interviews and asked to highlight key voices speaking out on why human rights needs to be at the heart of the global struggle against HIV/AIDS. </p> <p> * If you work on HIV/AIDS, we invite you to join the Hub to feature your work, including videos, photographs, audio, and campaigns - we'll feature new HIV/AIDS-related media here. </p> <p> * To learn more about this special coverage, including activities in Mexico City, visit <a href="http://hub.witness.org/AIDS08">http://hub.witness.org/AIDS08</a> </p>
