Meeting Description:
We have great pleasure in inviting you to

will be held in University of Bayreuth in
Germany from 11-13 September 2014.
'HIV/AIDS. Interdisciplinary perspectives' is
being organized by members of the University of
Bayreuth Graduate School as an international
and multidisciplinary conference on HIV/AIDS.
It is supposed to bring together scholars and
practitioners of different specialisations and
occupational fields to throw a light on their
particular perspectives and to make their
knowledge beneficial to others.
The conference is to be understood as a forum
for experts in the HIV/AIDS related research
and practical fields in order to present, share
and discuss their projects and results as well
as their key activities and working experience.
It shall provide interesting insights into a
broad spectrum of disciplines and occupational
areas focusing on HIV/AIDS: Medical Science and
Psychology, Linguistics and Communication
Studies, Economics and Political Science,
Literature and Media Studies as well as
prevention, psychological counselling and
medical practice.
Call for Papers:
Papers can focus on the following
questions:
- What insights and new findings does the
current biomedical and virological research
yield?
- What kind of challenges do medical actors
face in the treatment of HIV-positive
patients?
- How are prevention campaigns conceived,
implemented and evaluated?
- What socio-economic consequences does
HIV/AIDS have in the German and European
con-text as well as world-wide?
- What role does the psychosocial dimension of
HIV/AIDS play in the life of HIV-positive
per-sons and their social environment?
- How can linguistic research projects
contribute to a deeper understanding of
HIV/AIDS?
- How is HIV/AIDS being received in literature,
cinema, photography, the media and other
arts?
