She is author of Infectious Ideas: U.S. Political Response to the AIDS Crisis (UNC, 2009) and has curated numerous historical exhibitions, including Out in Chicago, for the Chicago History Museum, and “I’m Still Surviving,” www.stillsurviving.net, a transmedia living women’s history of HIV/AIDS. In 2022, History Moves began a public history partnership with Brooklyn-based Long COVID Justice, an organization committed to growing the power of people living with Long COVID and associated conditions.
