Ann May presented a paper entitled "Maasai migration, city work, and AIDS in Tanzania," in Port Elizabeth, South Africa at the 13th Annual Pan-African Anthropological Association Conference June 29-July 4, 2003. An expanded version of that paper, based on her dissertation research on rural-urban migration of youth and pastoralists in Tanzania between 1999 and 2000, and additional fieldwork in 2001 that focused on HIV/AIDS as a migration risk factor for pastoralists, funded by the Population Aging Center, is currently being reviewed for publication. The co-author is J. Terrence McCabe. Following the conference, May was an Institute of Cultural Affairs International volunteer on an HIV/AIDS training program for two weeks in Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania. The project educated sixteen community leaders and launched a year-long AIDS awareness program in that area.
