| Politics of Breast Cancer Conference November 5, 2001
The Center on Women and Public Policy; the Humphrey School Policy
Forum; and the Center for Science, Technology, and Public Policy
cosponsored a day-long conference exploring questions at the intersection
of science policy and feminism: the topic of breast cancer and health
care politics and policy.
Some of the questions explored include:
- What is the role for informed activism in shaping health care
policy in general and breast cancer policy in particular?
- Should breast cancer be treated as its own separate disease?
Or as part of an approach to fighting cancer more generally?
- How should we go about weighing and evaluating competing causal
claims, particularly about environmental toxins?
- How can we develop good treatment policies within the complexities
of our for-profit health care system?
