 s: Activist Archiving in the Age of AIDS: the Visual AIDS’s Archive Projec
 t and Artist+ Registry. The talk will be followed by an audience Q and A.
 \n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nDr. Marika Cifor is an Assistant Professor in th
 e Information School at University of Washington and an adjunct faculty me
 mber in Gender\, Women & Sexuality Studies.\n\nShe is a feminist scholar o
 f archival studies and digital studies. My research investigates how indiv
 iduals and communities marginalized by gender\, sexuality\, race and ethni
 city\, and HIV-status are represented and how they document and represent 
 themselves in archives and digital cultures. This multidisciplinary schola
 rship uncovers how archives and digital technologies and cultures are shap
 ing identities\, experiences\, and social movements.\n\nCifor's book\, Vir
 al Cultures: Activist Archiving in the Age of AIDS (University of Minnesot
 a Press\, 2022)\, delves deep into the archives that keep the history and 
 work of AIDS activisms alive. It charts the efforts activists\, archivists
 \, and curators have made to document the work of AIDS activism in the Uni
 ted States and the infrastructure developed to maintain it and the activat
 ion of these records on contemporary digital platforms by artists\, archiv
 ists\, and activists. Archives allow us to remember these social movements
  and to revitalize the epidemic’s past in order to remake AIDS’ present an
 d future. In addition\, Cifo's research has been published in leading jour
 nals in information studies\, communication and media studies\, and gender
  and sexuality studies.\n\nThis event is part of the 5th Season of the Fem
