World AIDS Day exhibit


November 26, 2016 – March 10, 2017

Maria de Bruyn is a medical anthropologist who worked for non-profit organizations in The Netherlands and United States, as well as international non-governmental and United Nations agencies, in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) with a special focus on HIV and AIDS and health-related human rights. She donated her historical papers to the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library in 2015. 

This exhibition case in the Josiah Charles Trent History of Medicine Room was curated in conjunction with events for World AIDS day 2017, and in support of a student exhibit of artwork exploring the de Bruyn collection. 


This exhibition was sponsored in part by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
