The Pro Bono Radio team talks to professor Bill Flanagan about the overcriminalization of HIV disclosure from a public health disclosure — examining the barriers to testing, public health implications, stigma and chilling effects stemming from criminalization, and the “public health imperative” of striking an appropriate balance.

(Note: this episode was recorded during the 2018-19 school year; Bill Flanagan was Dean of Queen’s Law at the time of recording; the current dean at this posting (January 2020) is Mark Walters).

*`A display of wampum belts is appreciated, but is it enough? Indigenous law students discuss their experience at Queen's, and the challenges facing legal education and "bridging two worlds."`*

Indigenous law students at Queen’s Law talk about their experiences as Indigenous students at the law school — both positive and negative — including reconciliation and the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the problematic name of the school’s building, and thoughts on how law schools in general are succeeding, and still challenged, to address the needs of Indigenous students.
