Sexualizing Cancer: HPV and the Politics of Cancer Prevention
In her book talk, Laura Mamo will discuss how the scientific search for a viral cause of cancer transformed not only how we think about and prevent cancer, but how we think about the relationships among sex, sexuality, and health in the broadest sense. The talk will be followed by a drinks reception.
