SUMMARY:Bureau offsite event: Perry Halkitis presents his new book The AIDS Generation at the Center
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bureau for a presentation by Perry Halkitis of his new book The AIDS Generation: Stories of Survival and Resilience at the Second Tuesday Lecture Series at the LGBT Center. The Bureau will sell copies of the book before and after the presentation. \nThe AIDS Generation: Stories of Survival and Resilience examines the strategies for survival and coping employed by these HIV-positive gay men\, who together constitute the first generation of long-term survivors of the disease. Through interviews conducted by the author\, it narrates the stories of gay men who have survived since the early days of the epidemic; documents and delineates the strategies and behaviors enacted by men of this generation to survive it; and examines the extent to which these approaches to survival inform and are informed by the broad body of literature on resilience and health. \nThe stories and strategies detailed here\, all used to combat the profound physical\, emotional\, and social challenges faced by those in the crosshairs of the AIDS epidemic\, provide a gateway for understanding how individuals cope with chronic and life-threatening diseases. Halkitis takes readers on a journey of first-hand data collection (the interviews themselves)\, the popular culture representations of these phenomena\, and his own experiences as one of the men of the AIDS generation. \nThis riveting account will be of interest to health practitioners and historians throughout the clinical and social sciences — or to anyone with an interest in this important chapter in social history. \n \nPerry N. Halkitis\, PhD\, MS\, MPH is Professor of Applied Psychology and Public Health (Steinhardt School)\, and Population Health (Langone School of Medicine)\, Director of the Center for Health\, Identity\, Behavior & Prevention Studies\, and Associate Dean (Global Institute of Public Health) at New York University. Dr. Halkitis’ program of research examines the intersection between the HIV epidemic\, drug abuse\, and mental health burden in LGBT populations\, and he is well known as one of the nation’s leading experts on substance use and HIV behavioral research. Dr. Halkitis hold degrees in psychology\, education\, and public health. \nFor more information about the evening click here. \nThe Second Tuesday Lecture Series is the longest running program at The LGBT Center.
