My research focuses on the intersection of medical ethics and the sociology of medicine. My work centres on dementia and couple relationships, live-in care provided by migrants, and vulnerability and moral conflicts in healthcare. I also explore ethical issues surrounding new technologies in psychiatry, as well as qualitative and ethnographic research methods.<\/p>\n\n

Before I worked at the Institute for Medical Ethics and History of Medicine at Ruhr University Bochum, I was based in the Departments of Ethics in Medicine and Prevention and Rehabilitation Science at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, where my work included the German-Israeli collaborative project MoDeCare, which focused on live-in care provided by migrants to people with dementia. As part of a tandem fellowship from the European Centre for Advanced Studies, I also conducted research into the perspectives of people with dementia in collaboration with Paula Jacobs from the University of Edinburgh.<br\/>Translated with DeepL.com (free version)<\/p>\n\n

I completed my PhD in Sociology at the Technical University of Berlin in 2024. In my doctoral thesis, \u2018Communicative Co-Construction of Couple Relationships in the Context of Dementia\u2019, I examined, on the basis of a multi-year ethnographic study, how couples communicatively maintain and adapt their relationship whilst living with dementia. The thesis has been published as a monograph in the \u2018Randgebiete des Sozialen\u2019 series by Beltz Juventa.<br\/>Translated with DeepL.com (free version)<\/p>\n\n

I completed my degree in social sciences and the interdisciplinary Master\u2019s programme \u2018Culture and the Individual\u2019 at Ruhr University Bochum. My academic career has taken me to, amongst other places, the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Witten, the Institute for Cultural Studies in Essen, Aalborg University and King\u2019s College London.<br\/><\/p>\n\n
