Today, we are thrilled to welcome Professor Joan Kaufman, one of the world’s leading experts on HIV and China. Joan has spent her career at the intersection of public health, policy and social justice, working across the United Nations, philanthropy and academia. Her work has profoundly shaped how the world understands health, rights, and China’s role in both. Joan first moved to China in 1980, working with the United Nations in Beijing during a pivotal moment when China’s health system was just beginning to reopen to the world. In the 1990s in the Ford Foundation’s Beijing office, she pioneered work on women’s rights, reproductive health and HIV prevention. From 2002 to 2012, she led China programmes for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, building bridges between Chinese scientists and global vaccine efforts. In academia, Joan has held senior roles at Harvard, Columbia, Brandeis and Tsinghua University. She founded Harvard’s AIDS Public Policy Project, directed Columbia’s Global Center in Beijing, and taught global health and social medicine at Harvard for may years. Today, she serves as Senior Director for Academic Programmes at Schwarzman Scholars, where she mentors emerging global leaders to think critically about China, global health and the world. In today’s special episode, Joan joins us to reflect on the arc of China’s HIV response over the decades, and her life’s work at its heart.
