Episode 32: The Sociology of Cancer: Cancerland

Cancer’s role in our society is oftentimes not looked at from a sociological standpoint. Rather, we approach cancer through a research and biological lens, however, there is much more to it than it meets the eye. In our latest podcast episode professor and sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Stephanie Osbakken dives deeper into our topic thanks to her class “Cancerland”, she gives her own experience with a cancer diagnosis, and gives advice on what students themselves can do to make an impact.
