Political Response to the AIDS Crisis, and and Northwestern University professor and journalist Steven ThrasherPhD, whose writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian and Esquire, engage in a conversation that touches on gender, race, sexuality, political and social history, and the tension between complacency and urgency today.
