Daphne Jackson Fellow to be Hosted in HCA’s Oral Collective Unit
Dr Wendy Rickard has been given a unique fellowship award to undertake a review of forty years of HIV oral history from across the world.
13 May 2025
Dr Rickard has secured a Daphne Jackson Fellowship for her project, ‘Disrupted Narratives, Exposed Voices: A Global Analysis of HIV Oral History and its Public Dissemination’.
The Daphne Jackson Fellowship scheme supports people who have taken a break from their research career for family, caring or health reasons, and combines a research project with retraining and mentoring to help them return into senior academic roles.
Globally, 40 million people have died with AIDS and about the same number live with HIV. The project will ask whether we have HIV stories from all over the world or just from its most privileged parts.
Dr Rickard will count recordings, identify gaps in the voices captured – particularly those from the Global South - and ultimately, reveal new information about the way pandemic history is recorded.
