About
Celeste Watkins-Hayes's scholarship focuses on HIV/AIDS; urban poverty; social policy; and racial, class, and gender inequality illuminating social problems of great interest to scholars, communities, and policymakers. She works at the intersection of sociology, African American Studies, and public policy. Her work analyzes the impact of the HIV epidemic on women and the growth of the HIV safety net. Her award-winning recent book, Remaking a Life: How Women Living with HIV/AIDS Confront Inequality, uses the HIV/AIDS epidemic as a lens to understand how women achieve radical improvements in their social wellbeing in the face of social stigma and economic disadvantage.
