ORGANIZER’S STATEMENT: This conference brought together sixteen scholars from anthropology and the social sciences who have conducted significant research on theoretical and methodological aspects of AIDS over the past few years. The primary aim of the conference was to critically examine how AIDS research has challenged theoretical approaches and concepts, and methodological approaches and assumptions, in anthropology. In all, nine anthropologists, three sociologists, two social historians, one linguist and one psychologist participated.
