FY 2018-19
Summary
This grant is for dissemination of knowledge related to the history of AIDS in Montréal's Haitian communities during the 1980s. The research was supported by a CIHR Operating Grant (2013-18). This project included interviews with individuals active in the response to HIV/AIDS in Montréal's Haitian communities, as well as substantive archival research. It has resulted in the production of a book-length manuscript, which offers an in-depth and sustained analysis of the impact of HIV/AIDS in Montréal's Haitian communities, as well as the response of members of that community to this public health challenge. There is no other research which documents this reality in the Canadian context. As such, this research offers a unique opportunity to learn from the history of HIV/AIDS. The proposed grant includes three major activities to disseminate this knowledge : 1) the publication of a book, to educate both scholars (historians of Montréal) and the general public ; 2) the delivery of five workshops in Haitian community-based organizations to educate the local Haitian community; 3) a series of Creole-language radio advertisements to disseminate the learning from this history in a relevant format that will reach a large number of Haitian Montréalers.
