Open to the public, participants may purchase a meal in Post 95 or the Center Dining Room in the student center or they may bring a meal from home and then gather at 11:30 a.m. for fellowship. The lecture by Mapetla, a professor at the National University of Lesotho, begins at 12:15 p.m.
The presentation will address HIV/AIDS and its impact on the people in SubSaharan Africa, which is currently considered the epicenter of the epidemic. Mapetla said she will take a social perspective to argue that while HIV/AIDS is a medical condition, it is also socially constructed and therefore gendered in many aspects. She will address the most important and basic question: is there hope?
