UCOP funds study of HIV and racism
|
|
|
The UC Office of the President’s California HIV/AIDS Research Program has awarded Sean Arayasirikul, an associate professor of public health at UCI, a grant to support research into how geographies and social spaces – as well as the histories, policies and practices embedded therein – are racialized, and how this impacts vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Arayasirikul hopes to understand how structural racism is enacted through social spaces, driving structural vulnerability among sexual and gender minoritized people of color to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. “Our focus will be to measure geographic and spatial determinants of structural racism as well as account for other structural oppressions, specifically structural homophobia, cissexism and transmisia, sexism, xenophobia, and their intersections,” Arayasirikul said.
