Dr Holly Wardlow is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. Her research interests cover issues related to medical anthropology, feminist anthropology, international health, gender and sexuality, and HIV/AIDS in Papua New Guinea. She is currently finishing a collaborative project funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Love, Marriage and HIV/AIDS: A Multi-Site Study of Gender and HIV Risk. This is a comparative ethnographic study of married women's risk for HIV in five countries: Papua New Guinea, Mexico, Nigeria, Uganda, and Vietnam.

Postgraduate students and early career researchers at the ANU are invited to attend this masterclass. They should send their names and a brief paragraph outlining their current research project to nicholas.mortimer@anu.edu.au by August 10, 2012. Selected participants will be advised on Monday August 13 and will be sent copies of some of Dr Wardlow’s recently published work which will be the basis of discussion with her.
