| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1418 Cancer is not merely the leading cause of mortality, but a significant metaphor to understand human experience in contemporary society. Despite triumphant hype of paradigm-shifts in clinical medicine, less attention has been paid to illness experiences of cancer patients, which cannot be reduced to numbers and diagnosis in description. Their living with uncertainties and hope, and navigating therapeutic and moral landscapes in resource-limited circumstances provide a lens to critically examine healthcare system and sociopolitical conditions. ; Pre-requisite(s): Any previous course in Health Studies; Enrollment Limit: 15; Lottery Preference: First, Health Studies seniors; Second, Health Studies juniors, then Anthropology majors.
