Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the lecture is based on Hoppe's book, " Punishing Disease: HIV and the Criminalization of Sickness , " published in 2017. It will be held in Lane Hall from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Following the themes pervasive in "Punishing Disease," the lecture will discuss the demonization of people with HIV and what has led to criminal punishments for those with the disease -- the consequences of which will also be discussed.
Supported by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative at the University of Michigan, which focuses on fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue of sexuality and LGBTQ research, the lecture will make audiences think about which other ailments could be subjected to criminalization in the near future.
