This course reads the experience of cancer through three interwoven theological and psychological lenses. These framings are not simply background; they are the interpretive lenses students will be asked to return to across the semester.

Cancer as Diasporic Existence.
A pilgrimage alters perception, place, community, and identity. The diagnosis of cancer relocates a person and their family into foreign lands of clinics, protocols, treatments, and waiting rooms, even as it also names the traumatic dimension of that displacement.

Cancer as Trauma Existence.
An ongoing reflection on a disruptive experience that continuously shapes and reshapes how individuals, their communities, and successive generations understand themselves and their environment. This is a physical, emotional, and intellectual process that can lead to disability or become a source of identity and creativity. Trauma forces an ongoing struggle to integrate inner and outer realities, past and present existence - a process marked by constant change and a movement toward purposeful action and affirmation.

Cancer as Creative Existence.
The capacity to transcend suffering and traditional ideas, rules, and patterns of relationship in order to create meaningful narratives, relationships, ideas, methods, and strategies. Creativity is an ethical response to trauma, in which individuals and communities choose not to be bound by past, present, or future catastrophe.
