Abstract
The article theorises about various responses to an HIV and AIDS outbreak by
comparing it to a burning hut in the village. These responses range from indifference to
action oriented engagement with HIV and AIDS. It is a framework that challenges
scholars of religion and other disciplines to place themselves within the story of HIV and
AIDS and to plot their own response. The approach is both autobiographical and institutional
in its analysis. The article thus highlights insights on curriculum transformation
gathered from individual experiences and intuitional engagement by highlighting the
writer’s response, organised efforts from the World Council of Churches, the Circle of
Concerned African Women Theologians, the University of Botswana and other
institutions. The conclusion emphasises that both research and teaching should be justice
seeking.
