p.s. you can email your essay to me (remember to check for my reply saying I received it) or bring hardcopy to the museum.  and since there are no readings, you don’t have to post  a blog entry.

Maps for 4/4 field trip

I will hand out black and whites for all these maps in class, but they are much better in color.  in some cases, you will have to search through a report.  In the 2006 Women and HIV report, the maps i handed out are on pages 19-22.  for the 2009 HIV in NYC report, the maps are on page 4.
