Member & HIV-Related Blogs
An AARG blog is in the works. In the meantime, below are some links to blogs that are HIV-related and/or anthropology-related. AARG shares these blogs not out of allegiance to these particular blogs and the views expressed; rather, because blogs are an engaging way to stay abreast of the latest research, share insights, and learn from others involved in similar work.
Blog * AIDS.gov
A large number of Federal agencies and programs are engaged in HIV/AIDS prevention, testing, treatment, and research efforts in the United States. AIDS.gov serves as a gateway for information about those Federal domestic efforts. Since the launch of AIDS.gov on December 1, 2006 (World AIDS Day), there has been a growing interest in finding ways to use new media to disseminate information about HIV/AIDS and improve prevention, testing, treatment, and research outcomes. AIDS.gov created this blog to address that interest. This blog serves as a forum to foster public discussion on using new media effectively in the response to HIV/AIDS.

Savage Minds
Notes and Queries in Anthropology — A Group Blog
Savage Minds is a collective web log devoted to both bringing anthropology to a wider audience as well as providing an online forum for discussing the latest developments in the field. We are a group of Ph.D. students and professors teaching and studying anthropology and are excited to share it with you. Savage Minds was founded in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. In 2006 Nature ranked Savage Minds 17th out of the 50 top science blogs across all scientific disciplines. In 2010, American Anthropologist has called Savage Minds “the central online site of the North American anthropological community” whose “value is found in the quality of the posts by the site’s central contributors, a cadre of bright, engaged, young anthropology professors.” The title of our blog comes from Lévi-Strauss’s book Pensée Sauvage. And yes: that is a pansy on the mast head.

Culture Matters. Applying Anthropology
Current and former students and staff of the Department of Anthropology at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, write about the emergent trends in anthropology. In particular we are interested in discussing the ways in which the methods and insights of anthropology are being ‘applied’ in various settings, both within and beyond the academy.
