Episode 7 – World AIDS Day and the Founding of allgo

Audio QT is a feature of QT Voices, the online magazine of the LGBTQ Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Audio QT is comprised primarily of interviews with faculty, staff, students, and friends of the program discussing their research or artistic practice, community projects, current political issues, or good old-fashioned queer gossip.

Designed for students and others interested in LGBTQ issues, particularly in Austin and the rest of Texas, Audio QT will bring a fresh perspective on the matter at hand each month. To read the rest of QT Voices, visit: http://sites.utexas.edu/queerandtransvoices/.
