breast cancer project

Welcome to the Breast Cancer Cultural Significance Project! Are you a breast cancer survivor or patient, or have been deeply impacted by the epidemic? Then we'd very much like to hear your stories. Your sharing participation can be as simple as just a quick email of support or a single jpeg image you associate with breast cancer to participating more elaborately such as developing a couple minute Youtube video or providing a written account of your stories. Just so we hear from you.

Collectively, we're compiling stories about the cultural significance of Breast Cancer by trying to share perspectives on the following questions:

1. What cultural factors do you believe led to your breast cancer, if any?

2. How do you view breast cancer? As a disease? A punishment? A battle or personal challenge?

Please email your stories, links or videos to:

From all of us in the medical anthropology class at the University of Minnesota Duluth, we cordially thank you for your participation in this important compilation.

William, Emma, and Kelsey
