SSI1 169 | Cancer in Context

This SSI1 Seminar examines the history of cancer discovery and treatment. Students will build a solid foundation in the science, history, and social context of cancer to allow thoughtful exploration and critique of where we've been and to identify future areas of concern and hope. Through class participation, reading, writing, and speaking students will increase their ability to frame and explore questions, support claims, and thoughtfully consider their own and other's assumptions. Written work will range from commentaries on readings to a series of essays. Affiliate department: Biology.
