DESCRIPTION:This Talk is part of the Centre of African Studies Lent term S
 eminar Series: Gender in Africa \n\nWriting of Zambia and Tanzania at the 
 height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic\, Baylies and Bujra (2000) argued that the
  epidemic might well possess strong liberatory potential to free both men 
 and women from the prison of particular constructions of gender prevalent 
 in the region.  My paper will review the course and consequences of the la
 st thirty years of HIV/AIDS in Zambia\, both the progression of the epidem
 ic and responses to it.  Drawing on my long-term fieldwork\, I will focus 
 on constructions of masculinities among a group of Catholic mission-educat
 ed men and their families and friends in Zambia.  I will discuss my ongoin
 g research with particular reference to the introduction of medical male c
 ircumcision as a prevention against HIV\, and more recently\, against cerv
 ical cancer.
