HIV Stigma: Let's Challenge It | Carmen Logie | TEDxUofT

How do social and structural contexts affect HIV? Dr. Carmen Logie’s work explores the impact of these factors on HIV risk and resilience and how we can influence these contexts to prevent HIV infection. In addition to working on her CIHR and SSHRC funded studies, she is currently an Assistant Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at U of T, and received a Grand Challenges Canada Rising Star in Global Health Award.
How do social and structural contexts affect HIV? Dr. Carmen Logie’s work explores the impact of these factors on HIV risk and resilience and how we can influence these contexts to prevent HIV infection. In 1994, volunteering at the Wellesley Hospital led her to her current CIHR and SSHRC funded studies: using theatre for change to reduce stigma towards sexual and gender minority communities in Swaziland and Lesotho, examining connections between social environments and HIV vulnerability among sexual and gender minority youth in Jamaica, and exploring arts-based HIV prevention strategies in the Northwest Territories grounded in Indigenous knowledge. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at U of T, and received a Grand Challenges Canada Rising Star in Global Health Award.
