Call for Papers: HIV/AIDS in the Workplace
------------------------------------------
Research Symposium, Wits University, South Africa
29th and 30th June 2004
An interdisciplinary initiative organised by members of the
Schools of Business, Economics, Law, Public Health and Social
Sciences of the University of the Witwatersrand.
The symposium aims to provide an opportunity for researchers from
all academic disciplines to present and cross-fertilize their
work on HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Open and accessible debate on
HIV/AIDS in the workplace is important in a context where there
are limited public fora to discuss these issues with rigor and
freedom of expression.
Symposium themes
Five themes have been selected for the Symposium. The aim of
these themes is to encourage and promote applied or practical re-
search.
1. All together? Exploring tensions, contradictions and opportu-
nities around HIV/AIDS programmes in the workplace
2. Projections vs. Reality: The real impact of HIV/AIDS in the
workplace
3. Workplace programmes in the era of treatment: What is best
practice?
4. HIV/AIDS and the 'atypical' workplace
5. Workplace and society: Are there boundaries in responding to
HIV/AIDS at work?
